Vice President Harris takes the stage at Essence Festival, only mentions Biden once

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : The Biden campaign has been focusing on Black voters as polls show some support slipping to Trump.
20% : Harris will need to close the gap in the critical battleground states that Biden is neck and neck with Trump in, appealing to groups that the Democrats are struggling to hold on to like the Arab and Muslim community in Michigan - a state Biden only narrowly won in 2020 by some 150,000 votes.
7% : But while many acknowledged that while Harris is ready to take the job, America might not be ready to accept a Black woman as president, with a voter noting to ABC News, that if Hilary Clinton couldn't do it, they're not sure how Harris could.In a potential matchup between Harris and Trump, they were nearly tied with 42% supporting her and 43%, supporting the former president, according to a Ipsos poll released Tuesday, compared to the 43%-49% split between Biden and Trump.
