Central to the discussion will be critiques of Joe Biden's economic policies, which the Trump Campaign argues have disproportionately impacted Black Americans. Bidenflation, characterized by higher prices and stagnant wages, is highlighted as a particular burden on Black households. The campaign asserts that Biden's handling of issues like criminal justice and border security has further endangered Black communities, citing increased drug overdoses due to the influx of fentanyl into Black neighborhoods.

"Thanks to Joe Biden’s pro-criminal and weak open border policies that harm Black communities at a much higher rate than others, Black communities are less safe. Drug overdoses from fentanyl pouring into Black neighborhoods are spurring record number of drug overdoses among Black men," said the Trump campaign.

The roundtable aims to highlight these policy differences and discuss actionable solutions to support Black American businesses and improve economic prospects within these communities. The event is expected to draw significant attention as part of the campaign's efforts to re-engage and mobilize support among Black voters ahead of the 2024 election.

This gathering promises to be a pivotal moment in shaping the discourse surrounding Black American economic priorities and political engagement in the upcoming election cycle.
