A recent New York Times podcast episode featured several Black voices expressing their hesitation and "concern" over voting for President Biden’s re-election in 2024, with some claiming Biden is "too old" and others stating that the Democratic Party has not fulfilled its promises to Black Americans.
Some respondents noted why they believe that former President Trump and Republicans may attract an unprecedented portion of the African American vote next year, claiming that Black men like the party’s message of financial independence.
The Times' "The Run-Up" podcast involved its host, reporter Astead Herndon, going home for Thanksgiving and interviewing his various Black friends and family members gathered for the holiday about their current view of the Democratic Party and whether they would vote for Biden or Trump in 2024.
Herndon said he was inspired to conduct the holiday survey after seeing a recent New York Times/Siena College poll of battleground voters which revealed that "22 percent of Black voters said they would support Donald Trump over Joe Biden in a hypothetical rematch in 2024. That’s compared to the 8 percent Trump carried nationally in 2020."
He noted that several of his family’s Black dinner guests’ testimonies tracked with this data, as several of them revealed they’re reluctant to vote for the Democratic Party.
Herndon asked about why the Black vote seems to be slipping from Democrats even though they just lived through the "high point" of Obama administration.
One guest felt the opposite of nostalgia for former President Obama, saying, "I’ve been let down by Obama. Do you hear me?"
When asked why, he continued, "I feel as though he could have done more for us. I feel as though – specifically Chicagomans, that’s where he comes from. After seeing you know, Trump and all that he did, it’s like...

Unfortunately, LBJ was right when he predicted future black voting pattern after his “Great Society” programs were enacted in the 1960s.
I’ve got new for ‘em. Biden’s not too old. His age is not the problem. I think they don’t want to know what the problem is. If they did, they could figure it out rather quickly.
Bernie Madoff nods
Once abortion is on the table, they will come to their senses and vote the correct way.
Another brick in the wall.
Biden is out.
It doesn’t mean they will vote Trump
Black Women vote in a block. My experiences with black women have not been good. Never had a problem with black men. 22 percent black support for Trump.means about 36 percent black male support for Trump.
The white urban female isnt much better than any garden variety ghettopotomus.
Everyone knows that this will be Obama 4.0. That along with ‘voting by mail’ and the communists will retain control with an iron fist.
The white urban female isnt much better”
True but marginally better. Where they are better is being crushed by the abortion issue, for many they will go for the rats because without even a name they know X Democrat will give unrestricted access to kill babies.
Cue up the riots. Gotta get black folk back on the plantation.
His age is the least of the prick’s defects.
Biden needs to remind them how he got funding for Booker T. Washington to start Tuskegee Institute, and how he put up bail for Rosa Parks when she was arrested.
I’m not going to post the steaming pant load meme. You know what it looks like, you know what it means, and you know that it applies here.
Staying home is just as good.
Blacks don’t vote Republican. They just don’t show up to vote when they don’t like the Dem candidate.
Given a choice between Trump’s America and Biden’s America.... they are afraid of their own communities, and they want law enforcement to keep the groceries on the shelves. They will vote their self interests over that of the community.
Their feigned repudiation of the rats is a negotiating ploy. They know the rats need them to operate the fraud machine.
“Too old” is all they find wrong with this guy? OMG.
