2020 presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he came “out of a black community.”

Biden spoke Wednesday at a Democratic debate MSNBC and The Washington Post hosted in Georgia and discussed how to mobilize black voters for the upcoming election.

“I’m part of that Obama coalition,” Biden said. “I come out of a black community in terms of my support.” (RELATED: Team Trump Congratulates Hunter Biden As DNA Test Confirms His Love Child ‘With Scientific Certainty’)
