Some top Democrats are worried that a dip in Black voter turnout, along with other challenges, could doom President Biden and his party in 2024.
A group of Democrats is offering a new analysis of the most recent campaigns in Georgia and Michigan. They say Democratic power players need to think and spend money in new ways.
Biden has long depended on Black voters, first as a Delaware senator and most notably in the 2020 South Carolina primary, which delivered him a decisive win that led much of the Democratic field to consolidate behind him.
But now, just 50% of Black adults say they approve of Biden in a December nationwide poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs.
Georgia and North Carolina are among seven critical electoral college states in the next cycle. In those states, Black turnout dropped last year about 22%.
