Biden Visits Kenosha, Wisconsin, to Meet Family of Jacob Blake

HeadlineSep 04, 2020

On Thursday, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden visited Kenosha, Wisconsin, to meet with the family of Jacob Blake, a Black man who was paralyzed after being shot in the back seven times by police. Biden also spoke on the phone to Jacob Blake, who remains hospitalized.

Joe Biden: “As I got off the airplane, had an opportunity to spend some time with Jacob on the phone. He’s out of ICU. We spoke for about 15 minutes. … He talked about how nothing was going to defeat him, how, whether he walked again or not, he was not going to give up.”

Biden’s visit came two days after President Trump traveled to Kenosha but never once said Jacob Blake’s name.
