In the lead-up to the Democratic primary contest in South Carolina, President Biden is returning to the state a week before the election to rally support from the black community. Black voters have historically played a vital role in shaping the outcome of elections in the state, making it a crucial demographic for Biden's campaign. However, recent polls have shown a decline in Biden's support among black voters, with some indicating that Donald Trump has nearly tripled his support among this group since the 2020 election.
The Biden campaign has been quick to push back against concerns about his standing with black voters, highlighting the achievements of his administration and the impact they have had on the African-American community. They point to the drop in African-American unemployment rates, an increase in black-owned businesses, and a decrease in the racial wealth gap. The campaign asserts that no other administration has done as much for the African-American community as the Biden-Harris administration.
