Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden talked with the man shot by Kenosha police during the former vice president’s visit Thursday.
Biden reportedly spent more than an hour in private with Jacob Blake’s father, his siblings, and one of his attorneys.
Biden’s office says his conversation with the shooting victim was over the phone.
Blake told Biden about his pain after being shot seven times on August 23rd.
Biden followed the meeting with the Blake family by joining a community discussion at Grace Lutheran Church.
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers says he told the Biden campaign he didn’t want the former vice president to come to Kenosha either.
Evers had already been ignored when he wrote a letter to President Trump asking him to call off a visit.
The governor says Biden had decided to make the stop before he made his request.
Both Trump and Biden ignored the governor’s wishes and traveled to Kenosha, the latest center of racial unrest, demonstrations, and violence, in the country.
