Democrats say they are more worried that disillusioned Black voters, key to Biden's reelection bid, will sit it out in 2024 rather than defect to the Republicans.
. Such warning signals were initially papered over by other Democratic successes in 2022: The party picked up a U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania, Sen. Raphael G. Warnock won reelection in Georgia and anticipated losses in the House were minimal.
“The Democratic Party has been failing epically at reaching this demographic of Black men — and that’s sad to say,” Robinson said. “Black men are your second-most stable base overwhelmingly, and yet you can’t reach them in a way that makes your work easier.”Biden’s political team says it has received the message and is taking action, especially among younger Black men.
Brittany Smith, the executive director of the Philadelphia-based Black Leadership PAC , which is working to turn out Black voters, said she has noticed a change in how Black people respond to her get-out-the vote efforts in recent years. In the past, she simply needed to remind people of where and when to vote. Now, she said, many express a cynicism about politics that requires a deeper level of persuasion.
Meanwhile, Democrats say they are significantly more worried that Black voters will sit it out rather than defect to the Republicans.Sharif Street, a Pennsylvania state senator and the chairman of the state Democratic Party, said it’s incumbent on the party to give people not just something to vote against, like Trump, but something to vote for.
