Black House Democrats throw weight behind Biden amid party infighting

As President Joe Biden faces criticism over his poor debate performance and ability to handle a second term in the White House, leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus are coming out in force to throw their support behind the incumbent.

Several black House Democrats, including caucus Chairman Steven Horsford (D-NV) and Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), are going all in on Biden, while some such as Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) are admonishing their colleagues for raising concerns about Biden’s viability as the likely Democratic nominee.

Biden plans to call into a Congressional Black Caucus meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday night to “discuss the stakes of the 2024 election and their shared commitment to beating Donald Trump this November,” the Biden campaign and a House Democrat source confirmed to the Washington Examiner. The call will also provide an opportunity for CBC members to ask the president questions, the campaign said.

Displays of solidarity and unity within the Democratic Party will be key for Biden’s campaign moving forward in the 2024 election, especially as any signs of fracturing risks alienating black voters — a crucial demographic that helped Biden win the presidency in 2020.

Black voters, in particular, boosted Biden’s narrow victories in key battleground states in 2020. Historically a reliable ally of the Democrats, particularly for Biden, the president garnered 92% of votes from black people. Trump received 8% of the black vote in 2020 and 6% in 2016, according to the Pew Research Center.

So .... all this back and forth about Joe since the debate is beginning to look like they realized thati they'll lose without the Black vote??  It looks like Harris will be the DEM nominee at the convention, if not before.  That leaves a VP slot open; all kinds of 'Blacks' that she could select; Big Mike, Jeffries, Rice, Jarrett, Holder. All with tremendous name recognition.

Trump would be foolish not to select a person of color; though his options seem to be more limited. Tim Scott, Byron Donalds, Winston Sears, or Ben Carson.  I can't think of another qualified Black.  Scott and Carson would bring absolutely no excitement to the ticket, so Sears or Donalds would be more appropriate, especially if they're going to run up against those Black DEMS I mentioned above.

Just my opinion.

So, It's the Black House siding with the White House?

Unity!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
