CNN host Phil Mattingly admitted Friday that his jaw "literally dropped" after hearing a young black voter admit that he doesn't know if he will vote for President Joe Biden in 2024.
CNN anchor John King recently traveled to Milwaukee where he gauged the pulse of the black community there. What he discovered, according to him, is a "giant problem" for Biden's re-election hopes.
One Milwaukee voter, Davette Bake, told King that he "love[s] Joe" but graded Biden's presidency a four on a scale of 1 to 10. Another voter, Joanna Brookes, expressed concern that the Democratic Party takes black people for granted.
"Black voters in general, I think, tend to be pretty loyal to the Democratic Party. And sometimes I wonder, just based on how that party has performed thus far for people of color, if we should continue to be," Brookes vented.

And then King spoke with Devonta Johnson, a canvasser for Black Leaders Organizing for Communities.
King asked Johnson, "If you're Joe Biden and you want to be re-elected, he'd have a problem today, right?"
"Yes, he would. He would have a big problem," Johnson admitted.
As a follow-up, King asked Johnson who he will vote for: Biden or Donald Trump. "That's a — that's just a tough one," Johnson responded.
When the report concluded, King put into perspective the significance of what he learned in Milwaukee.
"Just stunning, that young man there, 'I don't know who I'm going to vote for.' A young black man in Milwaukee who is actually part of this activist community," he said. "Then you have the older black women answering the door saying, 'Yeah, people died for my right to vote, but I'm not sure I'm going to vote because I'm so disaffected and disenchanted.'"
That's when Mattingly expressed his disbelief over Johnson's brutal honesty.
"My jaw literally dropped at the end of that piece when he didn't say who he was going to vote for. A 21-year-old young black man in the activist community doesn't know," the CNN anchor said.
King answered, "Because he looks at Washington and says, 'What are they doing that's relevant to my life? Nothing.'"
When government is working properly, they should very rarely do anything that is relevant to my life.
Yep just like with the “Islamaphobia” nonsense that Biden and Harris are spewing, its all about making sure their base is locked in
Unfortunately there are a LOT of such dopes.
Well, then I guess “ he ain’t black”.
He gave Biden a 4 out of 10. Apparently, he can be nudged. Anyone that can give Biden anything above a 1, is still a moron.
Yep!
well they should all be thankful that Pedo Joe and the Democrats at least don’t want them all dead like they do the Jews!
King’s response is further proof how out of touch he and his ilk are.
The Dems’ two most loyal voter constituencies are black women (they’ve still got them) and Jews.
How will their Jewish vote respond to the situation in Israel—and the local response here?
The folks in Ukraine and Israel and the illegal aliens know who is buttering their bread....
US citizens...not so much...
Lol, you beat me to it.
But you forgot: Blacks are actually very conservative! Hispanics vote for pro-life and family! Affluent suburban soccer moms are discouraged by crime!
Government not messing up the economy is government working properly and something that is relevant to my life.
Government messes things up so regularly and the temptation to do so is so great that not messing things up counts as a positive achievement.
The only reason this idiot is surprised is because the speaker is black. And we’re supposed to be the racists.
Sounds like someone is listening to the Hodge Twins.
Biden won’t be the nominee, so none of this makes any difference. As soon as the blacks find out that Big Mike is running, they will be right back on the plantation singing a rap version of Happy Days Are Here Again.
Old Scranton Joe, taking in half a million a month in bribes can feel your pain.
The CNN anchor is a stinking racist if he thinks he knows a person’s voting patterns because of what skin color they have.
Every day, in every way, the left shows what racists they are, and it’s not very complimentary to blacks.
