Joe Biden plans Broward campaign swing, with stops that emphasize seniors and Black voters

Joe Biden plans to campaign on Tuesday in Broward County, where he’ll seek votes of constituencies critically important to any Democratic candidate who wants to win statewide in Florida.

Biden’s campaign said Sunday the Democratic nominee would be in Pembroke Pines and Miramar.

In Pembroke Pines, he’ll speak about his “vision for older Americans.” Later, he’ll be in Miramar to encourage people “to make a plan to vote.” Miramar has a large Black population, and Biden is likely to focus on African American and Caribbean American voters.

Miramar, the state’s 13th largest city, is home to one of the largest populations of Jamaican Americans in the United States. The father of Biden’s running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, is Jamaican American.

Tuesday’s visit is Biden’s third to the state during a campaign that’s been upended by the coronavirus pandemic, and, like the coming visit, he’s used previous trips to stoke support in important voting blocs.
