Media reports are that President Biden has lost support among Black voters…..
Some of us do NOT feel that Biden will have problems with those voters come November…
Nevertheless?
Biden DOES need to make sure he does NOT take Black, Brown, Yellow or even White voting blacks for granted ….
President Biden will unveil a campaign strategy to regain ground among Black voters during a visit to Philadelphia today, with a rally at a majority-Black school and Vice President Kamala Harris by his side.
Why it matters: Biden ran up big margins with Black voters as part of his winning coalition against former President Trump four years ago, taking them 92%–8%.
- But polling has consistently shown a lack of enthusiasm among Black voters for Biden. A recent New York Times/Sienna survey put his support at 69%–18% over Trump with Black voters.
- Biden’s new plan, which includes an eight-figure investment, will rely on Black student organizations, community groups, churches and surrogates to improve his standing with Black voters in swing states.
- He’s also making a point of campaigning in their communities.
Driving the news: Following a rally at Girard College, a private boarding school in Philadelphia, Biden will attend an organizing event at a local Black-owned small business, where he’ll tout his administration’s record on improving Black household wealth.
- “Today’s launch of the Black Voters for Biden-Harris coalition is yet another example of our campaign working diligently to earn every single vote,” said Quentin Fulks, Biden’s principal deputy campaign manager.
- “This coalition and the newly announced summer outreach and engagement programming serve as the next phase of our campaign’s ongoing historic investments in outreach to the backbone of the Biden-Harris coalition — Black voters.”….
