"The one thing that we can expect from the Biden administration is more of the same. More misery, more devastation, more catastrophes. That's one of the reasons why you see so many Black voters shifting to the GOP under Trump. Why? Because Donald Trump delivered," he said.
The Biden campaign announced early Friday that the president would be attending an event in Atlanta on Saturday focused on engaging Black voters before delivering the commencement at Morehouse College, a renowned historically Black men's liberal arts college, on Sunday.
The president will then meet with small-business owners in Detroit later on Sunday before delivering an address that evening in Michigan to the NAACP.
Biden's re-election team highlighted in its announcement that "no administration has delivered for Black America like President Biden and Vice-President Harris."
"This campaign will not take a single voter for granted," Biden campaign senior adviser Trey Baker wrote in the memo. "We are not, and will not, parachute into these communities at the last minute, expecting their vote."

"Historic shifts towards President Trump are already happening. Here's what we know: Without question, the pandering tour is because without the Black vote, there is no Democrat party," Scott later added.
Scott also addressed Trump's ongoing trial in New York City, arguing that it is politically driven, as well as the qualities his future running mate needed to possess.
Those traits included "someone who understands the House and Senate," plus "someone who understands being a business owner in the private sector," and "someone who understands the pain and the misery of rising from the bottom and going to the top" — all traits Scott himself possesses, considering his upbringing and business experience before his time in Congress.

"There's no doubt that it would be such an honor for anyone to even be in the conversation. But this should not be about me or any other potential VP, as they describe us. This should only be about America's future and who gets us there the fastest. That's Donald Trump," Scott said when asked whether he was still open to being Trump's running mate should he be approached about the role.
"Whatever I can do to make sure we have four more years of Donald Trump, count me in," he added.
