Black American voters
Black American voters recently voiced their dissatisfaction with President Biden, with several indicating that they believe he has “failed” during his tenure in office, leading to a decline in support from this crucial voting demographic.
President’s performance
Georgia Republican voter Dorothy Harpe and Alabama Democrat voter Jason Brown shared their opinions on the president’s performance as he faces challenges in gaining Black support for the upcoming 2024 election.
Biden has failed
“Black voters realize now that Biden has failed this administration,” Harpe told “Fox & Friends” host Lawrence Jones on Tuesday. “The prices of gas and everything is so expensive, and I spoke with some of the Black voters yesterday, and they said that everything was better under the administration of Donald Trump.”
Republican Party
“So they look forward to going back to the Republican Party and voting for Donald Trump because they say Biden has failed,” she continued. “They said Biden did not deliver on anything he promised, and they feel like President Trump… can relate to the Black community more than Biden.”
Significant drop
Recent polls from Fox News show a significant drop in President Biden’s approval rating among the Black community, decreasing by 25% since 2021. His approval rating, which was once at 87%, has now fallen to 62% in 2023.
Re-election message
Additionally, a recent report from NBC News suggests that Biden’s re-election message for 2024 is not connecting with South Carolina voters, with some even speculating that his support within the Black community was mainly due to his association with former President Obama in 2020.
Broken promises
A voter from South Carolina, aged 41, informed the media outlet saying, “it’s been a lot of broken promises.” Nevertheless, she expressed a preference for Biden over the potential alternative, possibly former President Donald Trump, who is currently leading in the GOP. Brown contended that Black voters remain mostly undecided on their choice for the 2024 election, while Biden strives to regain the backing he previously enjoyed.
Help the community
“Right now, we’re still holding onto our vote,” Brown said. “We’re looking for someone, if it’s not going to be Joe Biden, somebody that’s gonna help the community not only help us with the educational system, but also help with some of the rising taxes as well.”
Potential rematch
There is concern among certain Democrats regarding Biden’s prospects for re-election and his ability to defeat Trump in a potential rematch in the next election.
Terrified
In a recent interview, former first lady Michelle Obama said she is “terrified” and concern about the potential outcomes of the upcoming presidential election. Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson made an appearance on an episode of Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast, which was published on Monday. Although the podcast primarily focuses on mental health, the discussion shifted towards politics when he was questioned about the issues that weigh on his mind.
Turn it off
“What is the thing that keeps you up at night now, or what is your biggest fear now, after having overcome so many?” the podcast host asked. “It has less to do with me personally and more to do with the world that we’re in,” Obama said. “There’s such thing as ‘knowing too much,’ and when you’ve been married to the president of the United States who knows everything about everything in the world, sometimes you just want to turn it off.”
Concerns
After mentioning a range of concerns such as conflicts in different parts of the world, the impact of artificial intelligence, climate change, and voter participation, the upcoming presidential election in the United States stands out as the most significant issue.
Leaders matter
“Those are the things that keep me up, because you don’t have control over them. And you wonder, where are we in this? Where are our hearts? What’s gonna happen in this next election?” Obama asked. “I am terrified about what could possibly happen, because our leaders matter. Who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit affects us in ways that sometimes I think people take for granted.”
Tired
As Biden continues to strive for more backing from Black voters, Harpe emphasized that they are “tired” with the present government and what they have been “going through.”
Want better
“They want better, and they [are] tired of the malarkey, they [are] tired of the BS and all that stuff that… they feel like they’ve been going through,” she said.
