President Biden has delayed a ban on menthol-flavored cigarettes in order to pander to Black voters.
A person holds Newport menthol cigarettes outside a building in Chicago’s Dearborn Homes housing development in 2018. Fretting political backlash from Black voters in November, President Joe Biden has indefinitely delayed the Food and Drug Administration’s. Biden fails to understand this issue is not about the left or right. This is a moral issue that requires leadership to do what is right.
Biden is struggling to gain the support of Black men, according to a recent survey. Wall Street Journal polling from last month found thatsaid they were either definitely or probably going to vote for former President Donald Trump. In 2020, the former president received just 12% of the vote from Black men nationwide. The former president is also doing well with Black women, according to the WSJ poll. This has Biden’s campaign team in full-blown panic mode.
Biden’s calculated decision-making breeds cynicism among voters and may have the unintended consequence of people staying home on Election Day. As for those civil rights groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, who argue that a ban would unfairly target Black smokers, their argument lacks credibility and is based in greed. The proposed rule targets manufacturing and distribution — not Black smokers.
