A delegate for President Joe Biden’s reelection effort warned on Monday that black women will abandon the party if Democrats replace the presumptive nominee with another “white man” instead of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Biden spoke with a raspy voice and trailed off during the Thursday debate with former President Donald Trump, leading Americans to express concerns about his age and fitness for another four years as president. Areva Martin, an attorney and California delegate for Biden for President, said on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” that Democrats should “stay the course” with the president and that passing over Harris with a “white man” would be a dealbreaker with black female voters.
“First of all, Stephen, who are we agreeing? There is a long list of Democrats: Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer,” Martin told host Stephen A. Smith. “The list goes on and on and on … Where is there a consensus? You’ve got to build consensus and there is not consensus right now. If you pick a white man over Kamala Harris, black women, I can tell you this, we gon’ walk away, we gon’ blow the party up.”
Smith jumped in to ask Martin who black female voters would shift to if the Democratic party chose to pursue another candidate, asserting they will not move to Trump.
“So where are we getting agreement from on who this ideal Democratic candidate should be?” Martin continued. “Tell me that. Nobody’s told me who it should be. And then tell me how you’re gonna get the 4,000 delegates, which I am one of them. I’m a delegate coming from California. So who’s going to step out? One, tell Joe Biden he’s got to step aside because … everyone is not being mature about this process.”
“Joe Biden is not just the president; there’s a whole team of people, there’s an administration,” she added. “So if Joe Biden, when he gets reelected, which my prediction is that he will, he brings with him Kamala Harris, the most diverse administration in the history of this country. Y’all need to just stay the course. We got more black judges appointed under Joe Biden than anyone, even President Barack Obama.”
Some of the founders of BLM are probably available. They certainly exhibited the “right stuff” to be a democrat leader.
Ah knows dats raiiiight! What idiocy- they aren’t superdelegates, they are proles.
“It’s understanding that makes it possible for people like us to tolerate a person like yourself.”
In the whole world, there isn’t enough popcorn.
I was quite wise and not condescending at all!!
IMO Black women already have blown up the DemonRat Party.
Willy liked her a lot.
These black women need to chill the bleep out and make me a “sammich”.
Black Women Will Destroy Dems If They Choose ‘White Man Over The Tamil Hindu, Kamala’
And they thought they were being smart and safe by having a black female Vice President.
Reparations now or die!
She thinks that black women haven’t already blown up the Rat party! The old FDR New Deal coalition was a labor party, based upon men who actually worked hard jobs, not entitled afirmative action government workers.
Ladies of Color, all the RATs ever cared about was your vote. That’s why Kamala is there in the first place.
Quite a few black women have already left the party and say they’ll vote for Trump. Look at how many conservative black youtube channels there are today.
Kamala has a lot of white in her, just saying.
She's less black than the Halfrican, Obama, in appearance at least.
You missed the memo on that. Her race is optional. It’s a rare breed
I think we could generate electricity if we could harness the energy of their squirming. It is fun to watch.
Kamala is not thinking of another option on the DNC’s table....
To replace her as the VP running, with a white man, Gavin Newsom, to propel the old man who won’t drop out - Biden, over the finish line.
