Biden's camp says his visit to Kenosha, however, will aim to 'bring together Americans to heal' by convening a community meeting in the city where tensions remain high following the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, by police last week.

Instead, Trump suggested that Democrats like Biden condoned the violent protests, which has at times disrupted peaceful demonstrations, even as Biden has condemned violence several times.

The protests that have flared nationwide since Minneapolis police killed George Floyd in May have placed Biden at times in a difficult political position. He, along with his running mate, Kamala Harris, have praised the energy of the Black Lives Matter movement, but have not embraced its goals of de-funding or even eliminating local police departments.
