The Spin

Despite recent polls, Biden still holds the vast majority of Blackblack support in the country. These polls could also shift rapidly toward the president as his campaign begins reaching out to Blackblack communities to discuss how his policy'spolicies have led to historic gains for Blackblack Americans. This includes low unemployment and higher rates of both health insurance and business ownership. The Democratic ticket is the anti-racist ticket, and most Blackblack voters know that.

Biden's economic policies have been so disastrous that he's losing millions of black and brown voters. Instead of promising to do better as president, and encouraging them to take charge of their own lives as Americans, he's telling them to fear racism around every corner and that the White supremacist boogeyman is the greatest threat to their prosperity. Biden's failed excuses are so apparent that even the most loyal Democratic voters are turning away from him.
