Biden on the ballot: Joe’s struggles with minority voters to see first test in South Carolina primary

South Carolina commences President Joe Biden’s reelection effort in earnest on Feb. 3 with the first sanctioned Democratic primary.  The contest, which he is all but sure to win, will be the first time in 2024 Biden will be on the ballot. As such, the state presents an opportunity to examine the electability of the incumbent president who has been plagued by low approval ratings across multiple measures and groups. Part One of “Biden on the Ballot” looks at his struggles with minority voters.

President Joe Biden heads into his 2024 reelection bid bleeding support from minority groups that were the backbone of his first White House victory.

Now, just days away from the first official Democratic primary election in South Carolina on Feb. 3, the incumbent president is seeking to energize black voters in the Palmetto State that he credits for reviving his 2020 campaign that defeated President Donald Trump.

There is virtually no question whether Biden will win South Carolina’s primary, but he does face pressure to maintain all-important minority support, especially going into the general election as a decrease in black and Latino voters could signal an erosion in enthusiasm for his reelection bid.

University of South Carolina political scientist David Darmofal predicts next month’s nominating contest will have a low voter turnout “across the board,” but noted that if it is down more among black and Latino voters than other groups, such information would be useful to Biden’s campaign.

Biden doesn't need minority voters.  He only needs minority ballots.  On election day, it doesn't matter who these people vote for.  Their ballots will be voting straight Dem.

True that. And if that's not enough to get him over the top, he has an army of imaginary voters just itching to vote for him and only him.

Biden wasn't even on the ballot in New Hampshire, yet he still won.

The myth that Biden will not be on the ballot, or be forced to step down before the election is just that… a myth

Democrats are out fundraising for him. He’s raising record amounts of money, and he’s doing very well against MAGA even though his presidency has been a disaster.

And 'Republicans' (including Trump) continue to pretend that $3 trillion in deficit spending doesn't trickle into Democrat campaign coffers.
