Warnock&#8217;s remarks came amid reports of declining support for \u200bBiden\u2064 among black voters, with significant drops noted in key states like\u2064 Pennsylvania\u2063 and Michigan where his\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-approval-rating-drops-again-as-midterms-loom\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Approval Rating Drops Again As Midterms Loom\">approval ratings fell<\/a> to 56% and 54%, respectively, from much \u2063higher levels in 2020. \u200bDuring an appearance on MSNBC, where this issue was highlighted, Warnock, who serves as a pastor in Atlanta \u2062as well, discussed his efforts in communicating \u200dthe achievements of the Biden-Harris administration to black\u200d communities,\u200b particularly around economic\u200c improvements.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Sen. <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/raphael-warnock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Raphael Warnock<\/a> (D-GA) said Saturday that black voters cannot be taken for granted in the 2024 presidential election between President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> and his predecessor, <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Georgia Democrat made the comment as polling data indicate the president\u2019s support is waning among black voters. Just before he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/katie-phang\/watch\/-black-voters-can-not-be-taken-for-granted-sen-rev-raphael-warnock-on-listening-to-black-voters-213499461859\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>appeared on MSNBC<\/a> to discuss the matter, the network flashed a clip from a <em>USA Today<\/em> report showing black support for Biden at 56% and 54% in Pennsylvania and Michigan, respectively. Both are states the president will almost certainly need to win to keep the White House, and both figures are 20-point drops from 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Warnock, who is also a pastor at Atlanta\u2019s Ebenezer Baptist Church, said he has intertwined his two lines of work to preach the gospel, which he pointed out \u201cliterally means \u2018good news,\u2019\u201d of the Biden-Harris administration and its record on matters of concern to black voters.<\/p>\n<p>The senator said black wealth is up 60% from pre-pandemic levels, touted the administration\u2019s move to cancel student loan debt for 5 million people, and praised the $16 billion invested in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">historically black colleges<\/a> and universities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that there\u2019s work to be done,\u201d Warnock said. \u201cPeople are still struggling after coming out of a once-in-a-century pandemic. The question is: Who\u2019s going to stand up with black America? Joe Biden has receipts. Donald Trump has enough problems of his own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Host Charles Coleman Jr. asked Warnock about the effectiveness of the Biden campaign\u2019s messaging to black voters, which the senator portrayed as superior to that of the former president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlack voters cannot be taken for granted, and I like the fact that (the) Biden-Harris campaign is not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-need-to-get-off-their-a-and-both-parties-suck-charles-barkleys-history-of-slamming-politicians\/\" title=\"Democrats Need To \u2018Get Off Their A**\u2019 And \u2018Both Parties Suck\u2019: Charles Barkley\u2019s History Of Slamming Politicians\">taking black voters<\/a> for granted,\u201d Warnock said. \u201cThis idea that black folks should just show up is wrong-headed, and I believe that Joe Biden understands that \u2014 Kamala Harris certainly understands it \u2014 which is why, as we move forward into this campaign, you will see the ways in which they have invested far more than Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warnock\u2019s comments come on the same day as Trump\u2019s rally at Temple University in Philadelphia, one that was specifically designed to court black voters. He likened Biden\u2019s 2024 contest against the former president to his own 2022 Senate campaign, \u201cas if black people are so unsophisticated that they couldn\u2019t tell the difference between (Herschel Walker) and me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe question for voters is: Do you want to go backwards, or do you want to go forward?\u201d Warnock said. \u201cI think that the contrast could not be more stark here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden and Trump are set for their first debate of the 2024 election cycle at 9 p.m. Thursday in Warnock\u2019s home state.
