in an interview on “The Breakfast Club,” and lingering questions about his past policies, have left him in the hot seat with some black voters, particularly those under 40, even after he has all but officially sewn up the Democratic nomination.
How the candidates continue to respond to this incident could be a factor in the campaign for its duration. What will be worth paying attention to isn’t just how they each respond to the incidents and the law enforcement officers, but also to activists and the voters who are sympathetic to their plight.
Biden’s success has been largely due to the loyalty of black voters, but also to eating away Trump’s support with suburban voters and white working-class voters. Trump in 2016 narrowly won, and in doing so he performed better with black men and some white Christians than did previous Republican candidates. Victory in November could not only come by mobilizing the bases but by also eating away at voters who have historically backed the opposing candidates’ party.
