Black People Politics : As Black Voters Drift to Trump, Biden’s Allies Say They Have Work to Do

[MsInterpret]

Black voters are more disconnected from the Democratic Party than they have been in decades, frustrated with what many see as inaction on their political priorities and unhappy with President Biden, a candidate they helped lift to the White House just three years ago.

New polls by The New York Times and Siena College found that 22 percent of Black voters in six of the most important battleground states said they would support former President Donald J. Trump in next year’s election, and 71 percent would back Mr. Biden.

The drift in support is striking, given that Mr. Trump won just 8 percent of Black voters nationally in 2020 and 6 percent in 2016, according to the Pew Research Center. A Republican presidential candidate has not won more than 12 percent of the Black vote in nearly half a century.

Mr. Biden has a year to shore up his standing, but if numbers like these held up across the country in November 2024, they would amount to a historic shift: No Democratic presidential candidate since the civil rights era has earned less than 80 percent of the Black vote.

IMO, Voting is more important now than ever before. I am a Black retiree and a get out the vote volunteer. I have enjoyed certain rights that I would like to see all Americans enjoy. The GOP Candidate is a traitor, a seditious, a criminal, a rapist, a racist who wants to stop the Black vote. Vote Blue for Democracy. The GOP candidate wants to disrupt everyone’s life forming a dictatorship.
He has bad body odor.
