Black Democrats are watching with alarm and frustration as the party devolves into infighting in the wake of President Biden’s lackluster debate performance last month.
Black voters make up a critical part of the coalition that sent Biden to the White House in 2020, and their support is essential should he stay in the race for another term.
A recent highly watched New York Times/Siena College poll found a large percentage of Black voters feel Biden is too old for the job — but the same survey also found the president had in fact improved his support with the demographic after his faltering debate performance against former President Trump led to growing calls for him to withdraw.
Now, some Black Democrats are worried about how the debate fallout will impact an election whose stakes they feel couldn’t be higher.
“People who watched the debate actually increased their level of support for Joe Biden and decreased their level of support for Donald Trump,” Adrianne Shropshire, executive director of BlackPAC, told The Hill. “It’s this post-debate narrative that is out of control … throwing fuel on the fire and actually creating a story that didn’t exist on debate night. Democrats need to get their people in order because it’s affecting what their actual base understands to be true.”
That’s not to say those who watched the debate were happy with the president’s performance, Shropshire said, but they weren’t necessarily surprised by what they saw.
“Both candidates showed up in the way that, frankly, voters have come to understand who they are,” Shropshire said. “Joe Biden seemed old. Trump seemed like a liar. None of that is news to people.”
But some Democrats are convinced Biden’s performance indicates a need for a new candidate.

What they gonna do-riot?
THey’ll stay home. It’s the best we can hope for. Shave off a couple percent.
You ain’t black if you don’t vote for a dem any dem, commie, kkk, muzzie it don’t matter demands the dem overlords!
Yup—they riot and don’t vote.
Win win.
Kamala Harris will do better with this bloc even though she’s a terrible candidate.
Kamala’s black-scent is very convincing.
Lol.
But white suburban women are doubling down for Biden.
I think this election Trump will garner 15 to 20% of the black vote even if Cackles replaces Biden.
“...what their actual base understands to be true.”
The base needs to get off the reservation & find some real news.
Lots of black women want Kamala for President. If Biden steps down, Kamala steps up.
Except democrats won’t let her run or win. She was a token and they’re rooting for a white man to run against Trump.
The Democrats — and Biden in particular — do not like blacks. If the blacks ever figure this out, the Dems will be in trouble.
Will they post the video of JoJo the demented circus boy passing by the black woman to get to the old bat white woman?
The hill spouting complete and total B slash s. as usual.
In the 30’s or 40’s for black MEN
Black men are, in droves.
I am relieved the Republicans didn’t build their house on identity politics quicksand so that don’t run into tribal crap fights like this. Republicans are quite capable of screwing up without the added dynamic of pandering to ethnic, racial gender and gay narcissists, all with competing interests.
Adrianne just made that up because she has to.
I’d like just ONE of these nitwits to name ONE lie that Trump has told.
Pinocchio is at about 65 percent with Black voters. No rodent can win - has ever won with less than 88 percent. So the fake news media putting it’s thumb on the scale isn’t anything to write home about.
