Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden this week named Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate. The two will square off against President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence in November.
Her selection was not really a surprise, as influential Democrats already had given Biden orders that he was required to pick a woman, and a black, as his running mate.
But instead of attracting more support from the black community, the selection of Harris seems to have done the opposite.
It is Paul Bedard, in his Washington Secrets column, who pointed out that Rasmussen Reports found that now "a third of likely voters who were black said they are 'less likely' to vote for the Democratic ticket."
The same numbers said they are "more likely" as well as those who said it will make no difference.
He pointed out that 37% of blacks have a "very favorable" opinion of her, compared to just 28% of white voters.

"Biden has recently made a handful of gaffes seen as damaging his effort to shore up the normally Democratic black vote. Party officials said they hoped that Harris would help Biden win the 90% of the black vote Democrats commonly get," the report said.

Biden picked the lightest, “least black” black woman.
Biden picked the lightest, “least black” black woman.
She’s not black and they know it.
She’s not eligible and they don’t know that.
Is it because she isn’t black enough, or because she’s a far lefty?
Phony Comma’La better start dialing up the pandering Southern accent and Ebonics.
It’s because black men despise a lot of black women.
Biden boxed himself in badly when he pandered on the spur of the moment and said his running mate would be a female (remember the rape allegation against him). He then doubled down on it to pander to black voters and he effectively eliminated 95% of his possibilities. I would be willing to bet that his campaign team had NO IDEA on either occasion he was going to run off script like that either.
I think Trump is telling the truth when he said he wanted it to be her because I really don’t see any upside she brings to the ticket outside of raw ambition. Even democrats in California say Harris does not wear well after you get past the initial impression.
If true I wonder why. Is it because they don’t see her as being “black”?
More and more black folk are coming to realize what the communist party really thinks about them.
There will always be the “gimme, gimme, gimme” bunch, but the ones with a modicum of common sense and a brain are beginning to see what’s really going on.
First. She’s barely more American black than the fake Massachusetts injun squaw is “native ( sic) anerican”. As black friends put it, “another fake negro!” Second., it’s demeaning to black peoples that she was picked to trick them into voting for Biden. Third, of course, it’s demeaning to America that the dnc is running yet another ineligible candidate.
So she’s too black, then?
Kanye is the truth teller.can’t wait to hear more.
She ain’t no ways tahrd.
If you are black, white or purple polka dotted the choice is easy.
Do you want a job or do you want to wear a mask for the rest of your life?
She is almost as white as he is.
Where do you pick up these nuggets of wisdom? :-)
I’d like to disagree with you but in less educated societies and cultures the men are still threatened by females in power. That applies to the black community.
And yes more by females in power of the same persuasion
I bet Blanche Brown, Willie’s wife, is going to love watching Comma La get kicked around.
