Sandys/The Washington Post via Getty Images On Wednesday in Atlanta, for the first time at a 2020 Democratic primary debate, the topic of Joe Biden’s support from black voters was greeted with laughter.
I, um, you know, I’m part of that Obama coalition. I come out of the black community, in terms of my support. If you’ve noticed, I have more people supporting me, in the black community, that have announced for me, because they know me. They know who I am. Three former chairs of the Black Caucus. The only bla — African-American woman that’s ever been elected to the United States Senate.
Gaffe aside, the claim that Biden’s relationship with black voters fueled his selection as Obama’s running mate is probably false.
