In Atlanta, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff stopped by Sublime Doughnuts in Midtown to speak with owner Kamal Grant about supporting small business owners. Grant emphasized the challenges faced by small business owners, especially those in the Black community, where access to capital is limited.
Later that day, Emhoff headed north to participate in a roundtable discussion on reproductive rights with young voters and members of the group Men 4 Choice. During the discussion, DeVon Lewis expressed his concerns for his children’s future and the changing political landscape of America.
Emhoff’s visit to Atlanta is part of the Biden administration’s ongoing efforts to engage with voters in crucial battleground states. The former President Donald Trump has also recently visited Atlanta, making it a focal point for political engagement.
As preparations for President Joe Biden’s upcoming commencement speech at Morehouse College continue, the Biden administration remains committed to connecting with voters and having meaningful discussions on critical issues affecting the community.
