BIDEN has a problem with black voters.
Contrary to government-subsidized propaganda from the Tribune, the Trump campaign has been courting black votes for more than a year ( 1 | 2 ). At the same time, Biden has endured blunder after blunder.
This week, Biden suggested a black interviewer was a junkie after he questioned the candidate’s cognitive abilities [hint: if you suggest a person is a junkie for asking a question, you might have cognitive issues]. Then, there is the “you ain’t black” gaffe.
Is it more or less likely that similar such faceplants are in Biden’s future? Drop me an email to the betting market if it exists.
Even before these falters, Trump had been cutting into Biden’s lead with black voters. Late last year, he was polling (three different polls) over 30% approval. This won’t translate to votes, but it represents an under-reported truth.
