In his first visit to an early voting state this year, President Joe Biden on Monday made an appeal to Black voters at the historic Mother Emanuel AME Church, where nine Black Americans were murdered by a white supremacist in a 2015 mass shooting.
Biden condemned "white supremacy" as a "poison" that continues to haunt the nation, echoing what is already becoming a key theme challenging extremism as he ramps up his reelection campaign.
But some Black voters -- a group who has been key to Biden's success so far -- told ABC News afterward they have differing views on the president's track record and whether they will vote for him in November.
Jarett Jones said he plans to vote for former President Trump because he doesn't believe Biden has done enough for the American people or created more opportunities.
"Trump was actually helping the people," Jones said. "He might be a racist, but you know, when it comes down to it, if he's a better president, that's just what it is."
