More than half of black voters in battleground states say that they would be either more excited or more likely to vote for former Vice President Joe Biden in the November general election if he were to select an African American woman as his running mate, according to a new poll.
The poll – conducted for the advocacy group BlackPAC in the battleground states of Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – found that 38 percent of black voters who already plan to vote for Biden in November would be more enthusiastic about it should he choose a black woman as his running mate. Another 17 percent said that doing so would make them more likely to vote for the former vice president.
Twenty-seven percent of respondents said that they already plan on casting their vote for Biden and that selecting a black woman as his vice president wouldn’t change that.
