Maybe he should start with not saying shit like “ if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black.”

Considering he's only said that once (over three years ago), I wouldn't say he started with that.
Saying it once was fucking stupid.
Agreed.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks said of the primary that Biden’s team was working to “blow this out of the water” by running up the score against longshot challengers.
The Biden campaign also wants to learn lessons about activating Black voters — the backbone of the party — ahead of an expected 2024 rematch with GOP front-runner Donald Trump.
Last year, at the outset of Biden’s reelection bid, conflicting views among the same South Carolina Democratic voters whose support had been so crucial to his nomination provided an early warning sign of the challenges he faces as he tries to revive his diverse winning coalition from 2020.
Biden’s campaign has also hired staff in South Carolina to organize ahead of the primary and through the general election, although for nearly 50 years the state has picked a Republican for president.
Meanwhile, a pro-Biden super PAC, Unite the Country, is airing an ad featuring Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina ticking through what he says are major Biden accomplishments such as reducing student loan debt and cutting insulin costs for older people.
He spoke earlier in the month at the pulpit of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, where nine Black parishioners were shot to death in 2015 by a white stranger they had invited to join their Bible study.
The original article contains 994 words, the summary contains 220 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Win them back with what?
Maybe stop going out of your way to help continue a genocide, Joe.
Canadian here. Why aren’t black voters as interested now?
538 had a podcast episode about it. His base of immigrants, black, and young voters are still solidly in support, but less enthusiastic. As in, instead of 90% of the black vote, it’s 80% or less. But with such tight elections, that small shift matters.
As for why, it’s not clear, but it’s probably just the gloominess about everything. Despite spending like they’re optimistic, and being optimistic about their personal situations, Americans report being pessimistic about the economy as a whole.
Might have something to do with the fact that inflation wasn't a problem until wages started rising. Then Biden, Yellen and Powell went full force into attacking what, corporate profits? Price gouging billionaires?
Nope. Those greedy American workers with their remote work and long overdue raises.
The procorporate trash Democrat party can't handle class consciousness.
Nope. Those greedy American workers with their remote work and long overdue raises.
What? Biden hasn't made any comments like that. Are you a troll?
Biden set Yellen and Powell in a fight against American workers for having the audacity to finally get some long overdue wage increases. All three of them have blamed inflation on wages rising instead of corporate greed.
Biden has also vocally opposed working from home for federal employees.
That makes zero sense. Even if you think he’s cartoonishly evil, why would he complain about wage increases? Biden has been playing up the historic increases in wages. He mentions it all the time. It’s good for him politically.
Some of them are starting to realize there were much better candidates in the 2020 primaries but they went with Obama's recommendation and got Biden elected.
