Former President Trump attended a roundtable discussion at a church in Detroit on Saturday afternoon in an effort to reach out to Black voters.

“President Obama never came to the ’hood, so-to-speak, right? President Joe Biden, he went to the big NAACP dinner, but he never came to the ’hood. So thank you,” Sewell said, eliciting applause from the audience.
Later Saturday, Trump appeared at the “People’s Convention” of Turning Point Action.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Biden campaign for a response to Sewell’s remarks.
Sewell told “Fox & Friends First” on Friday that he couldn’t remember the last time a president laid out a plan for the Black community until Trump created the Platinum Plan, which included approximately $500 billion for Black businesses and churches.

“Those metrics matter to us. So we’re going to hold him accountable to the Platinum Plan that he produced,” Sewell said.
