The Biden campaign and the Democrats know they've got big problems because they've been forced to spend a lot of time and money trying to win back support from voting blocs they used to take for granted not very long ago. As a result, President Biden and VP Harris are in Philadelphia today to do some fresh pandering:
On his latest stop in the Keystone State, Mr. Biden will be joined by Vice President Kamala Harris. The president and vice president will appear at Girard College in Fairmount to launch their "Black Voters for Biden-Harris" initiative.
"Today, Team Biden-Harris is launching Black Voters for Biden-Harris, a national organizing program to bolster our continued historic investments in outreach to the backbone of the Biden-Harris coalition – Black voters," the Biden campaign said in a statement.
The Biden campaign went all out to try and get the "crowd" excited:

Elmo?
Nice try, but we're even hearing that Biden's approval on Sesame Street is down to about 33 percent.
The First (@TheFirstonTV) ~ One day after trotting out 80-year-old Robert De Niro, the Biden campaign is now deploying Elmo to warm up the crowd in Philadelphia. 🥴

Sara Rose (@saras76) ~ Elmo riles up Biden 'crowd' at his Philly rally of 20 people. A puppet opening for a puppet seems fitting.

As with all of Biden's campaign events, we use the term "rally" and "crowd" with exaggerated finger quotes.

RNC Research (@RNCResearch) ~ Biden's "rally" in Philadelphia — SAD!
Elmo has his work cut out for him to keep people awake:
RNC Research (@RNCResearch) ~
BIDEN: "We'll never forget— lying around —
*confused gibberish*
Him, lying around, actually ..."

The First (@TheFirstonTV) ~ WATCH - Slurring Biden loses his train of thought, starts mumbling about highways.
‘Included here in Philly ... But were change that with Recovery Act of Bih ... Uh, what they ... They uh ... Right now ... You see all the construction going on with the highways around here?’

The White House should have also had Elmo deliver the speech.
Speaking of Biden's speech, as you no doubt have guessed, the level of pandering is off the charts as Biden continues to lose black support in the polls:
Greg Price (@greg_price11) ~ Biden: "What do you think [Trump] would have done if black Americans had stormed the Capitol? I don't think he'd be talking about pardons. This is the same guy who wanted to tear gas you as you peacefully protested George Floyd's murder."
Biden went full "fiery but mostly peaceful" there.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
