Biden concentrates on Black voters as polls show some support slipping to Trump

Geoff Bennett:

The Biden campaign says it's going all in to shore up support among Black voters. That's with polls showing him underperforming with the key Democratic constituency that helped deliver him the Democratic nomination and the White House in 2020.

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a Juneteenth celebration at the White House last night. The president promoted his record to Black voters, while painting a contrast with right-wing Republicans.

Joe Biden, President of the United States: They're all ghosts in new garments trying to take us back. Well, there are — taking away your freedoms, making it hard for Black people to vote or have your vote counted, closing doors of opportunity, attacking the values of diversity, equity and inclusion.

I don’t see how their margin-of-cheating is going to be enough for Biden to defeat Trump.

I agree. They will "have to" kill Trump (or try).

Has Trump held his original coalition or is this just switching chairs? If Trump held his coalition then how is it not game over?

Not enough votes. That's only one bloc.

Black vote is about 12% of the electorate.

A rise from 8% to 18% for Trump is a change of only 1.2% overall.

But it is concentrated urban and a huge number in the overall denominator is from states with essentially no black vote.

So this talk is mostly about 2.5% of the on the numbers.

2.5% will overwhelm the battlegrounds. Remember, Biden’s lead was 7 million with 5 million from California and 2 million from NY. The concentration of support is extreme.

I agree, but there are people around here who get VERY offended when you say it.

I guess they think the idea hasn't occurred to Trump as well.

Even though it’s 2024 the kneejerk black voters think it’s like the 1940s and 1950s where people gathered around the political operatives downtown and got handed cash and other valuables to keep the votes coming in.

Today some of the tax money already went to the millions of illegal aliens. Dems can’t afford to keep both on the payoff lists.
