Appearing on The Steve Harvey Morning Show on Wednesday, September 23, Biden also spoke on his plan for black America, voter suppression and other issues.

He said:

"Although I've been deeply involved in the Civil Rights movement my whole life. I come from the state with the 8th highest black population of any state in the nation.

"I still don't, fully, fully, appreciate exactly how tough it is and that fact is, one of the most important things to do is put black men and women in the position where they can accumulate wealth.

"Where they're in a position where they begin to actually have the place in the community, where as a people across the board, they grow the middle class."

The Democrats' candidate will be slugging it out with President Trump and candidate of the Republican party who is seeking re-election for second term.
