In Atlanta, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff made a visit to Sublime Doughnuts in Midtown to meet with owner Kamal Grant and discuss the challenges faced by small business owners, particularly those in the Black community. The lack of access to capital is a major issue that many entrepreneurs face, and Grant highlighted this during their conversation.
Emhoff then headed north to The Gathering Spot to participate in a roundtable discussion on reproductive rights with young voters and members of Men 4 Choice. DeVon Lewis expressed his concern for the future of his children and the changing political landscape in America.
The Biden administration has been actively reaching out to voters in Georgia as part of their efforts to engage with key battleground states ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Trump has also visited Atlanta recently, adding fuel to the state’s political firestorm.
Emhoff’s visit was an important step in helping bridge the gap between politicians and everyday Americans, as well as sparking meaningful conversations on important issues affecting local communities. With President Joe Biden set to give a commencement speech at Morehouse College later this week, it is clear that the Biden administration is committed to continuing these conversations and working towards positive change for all citizens of Georgia.
