Campaigns for Joe Biden and President Trump release diversity statistics that show less than half their senior teams are made up of people of color.
Nationwide protests after the death of George Floyd have shined a spotlight on unequal opportunities in the U.S., pressuring companies, organizations and political campaigns to release internal diversity data that would help them confront inequalities within their own ranks.
The Trump campaign has twice faced criticism this year about its diversity, most recently after Vice President Mike Pence posted a picture of himself with staff at campaign headquarters in Virginia for not following health code orders, including wearing a mask. However some were quick to point out that many in the room were white.
“Hopefully, as the Biden campaign staffs up in the states, they will continue to prioritize recruiting and hiring diverse applicants with the hope that by the end of the cycle, they can reach a benchmark of 45 percent,” Inclusv co-founder Alida Garcia told NBC News.
