Carl Day joined NPR to weigh in on the Biden campaign in 2020. We caught up with him to hear what he's thinking heading into 2024.

This week, Day says he still sees cycles of poverty in his neighborhood that haven't been resolved. Philadelphia has the highest poverty rate of any big city in America, and Day believes decades of waning industry and disinvestment have left residents trapped in poverty:

Still, Day believes the Biden administration has made an effort to connect with community-based organizations, saying: "I've gotten to be a part of that. I see that they've hired really good people who know the national landscape of violence – who've done great work in violence prevention sectors." He says that politicians have been running the same playbook for too long, and that it's time for different voices:"What I'm afraid of is that we have so many old voices that represent so much of an old America where we're lacking the innovation that's needed."
