Since the 2020 election, Democrat President Joe Biden has experienced a significant decline in support from black voters. However, instead of addressing this decline in popularity, the Democrats are resorting to their usual tactic of blaming “disinformation.” In South Carolina, the Democratic Party is initiating a program aimed at “educating” black voters in an attempt to regain their support.
During the 2020 primary, the black vote played a crucial role in saving Biden’s candidacy in the Palmetto State. To bridge the “information gap” among black voters, party officials embarked on a 30-stop bus tour across the state.
“I think there’s a lot of disinformation out there,” Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Jaime Harrison told NOTUS.
“There are a lot of folks who don’t want this president for whatever reason, and I think some foreign and some domestic.
“They don’t want the record to be straight in terms of what this president has done and accomplished.”
“We needed to educate our voters and create a space for our candidates to come talk about their record,” Christale Spain, the Democratic Party chair in South Carolina, told the outlet.
“That’s really why we launched this historic effort, to fill what I feel is an information gap and not an enthusiasm gap.”
Democrats contend that it is crucial to educate black voters about what they perceive as Biden’s notable achievements. They specifically highlight the Inflation Reduction Act, student loan forgiveness, and various other concerns. A recent poll conducted by USA Today/Suffolk University in January reveals that Biden’s backing among black voters has declined significantly to a mere 63%. This marks a substantial decrease from the Pew Research Center’s data, which indicated a staggering 92% support among black voters during the 2020 presidential election.
Additionally, Biden’s support among Hispanic voters has also experienced a decline, dropping from 59% to 34%. A student from South Carolina State University informed NOTUS that her support for Biden only materialized after learning about his track record in appointing black judges to the bench.
“I really didn’t know the information,” the student, Zyah Cephus, told the outlet.
“I think those are things that the youth need to hear.
“I think, oftentimes, we’re kind of connected with the wrong things and disconnected with the right things.
“We know about Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion, but we don’t know about what’s going on in politics.”
