Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have appeared winning in the US polls after attracting a total of 290 electoral votes to beat incumbent President Trump’s small 214 electoral votes.
Before his victory over Donald Trump in the just-ended U.S. elections, President-elect Joe Biden suffered several rounds of poor results in the primaries.
Well, winning a US election does not only require your personality and drive but also your capacity to appeal to all people, all races and every American.
Black voters came through for him as he won two-thirds of the Black votes in South Carolina to beat his competitors for that key demography.
Biden’s victory over Trump is also due in no small measure to the support of Blacks in key battleground states like Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
The appeal of the Biden campaign to Black Americans can be attributed to the work of a Ghanaian, Adjoa Asamoah, who played the role as the campaign’s National Advisor for Black Engagement.
Adwoa Asamoah was born to a Black American mother and a Ghanaian father and says she has even visited Ghana in the past.
In an interview with Watch The Yard, a media company that celebrates Blacks, before the U.S. presidential elections, Adjoa explained that her role as National Advisor for Black Engagement involves working on multiple fronts to meaningfully engage the Black community, ranging from the African Diaspora to the Panhel family.
