Biden, Harris and Warren impress at NAACP Presidential Forum

Looks like many impressed attendees.

Snip—————————


Ten presidential candidates — nine Democrats and one Republican — spoke at the NAACP 110th national convention in Detroit on Wednesday, July 24, before a crowd of social justice advocates, civil rights leaders and freedom fighters. Former Vice President Joe Biden; Sen. Cory Booker; Pete Buttigieg; Julian Castro; Sen. Kamala Harris; Sen. Amy Klobuchar; Beto O’Rourke; Sen. Bernie Sanders; and Sen. Elizabeth Warren were joined by Republican Bill Weld, former governor of Massachusetts.

The forum was moderated by White House correspondent and CNN contributor April Ryan. She questioned the candidates about their positions on the Eric Garner case, reparations for African Americans, relieving student loan debt and supporting historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Ryan also asked the candidates about their agenda for Black America.

Nathaniel Gagum, 60, of Branch, Pa., said when he came to the forum he was undecided, but left Wednesday's session impressed with Julian Castro, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Castro “was the first to have a Black agenda,” Gagum said. “The NAACP is majority Black. Therefore, you look at him first to take care of our people. One thing about Harris is she was talking about equality and we need jobs. With Biden, one of the points he made was that he's worked with HBCUs a long time ago. You've got to have experience.”

1. I also thought Biden and Harris did the best from what I read and watched.

"Ashley Gaines, 28, of Anchorage, Alaska was impressed with Biden and Harris.



“I came with an open mind. I wanted to see what they said and have them speak on the issues first,” she said. “I'm a little caught between Kamala and Joe, even though she may be the better candidate.”

2. "I liked Mr. [Julian] Castro. I loved Joe Biden and I liked Kamala Harris," Evans said. "

“I liked Mr. [Julian] Castro. I loved Joe Biden and I liked Kamala Harris,” Evans said. “I liked the idea of the general consensus on reparations. It’s nice they have so many ideas, but they’ve got to be realistic because somebody’s got to pay for it, and I don’t want to end up with a big bill.”

Daryl Murphy, president of the NAACP’s Sandusky, Ohio branch, said Biden and Harris were his favorite candidates in the forum.
