Energizing South Carolina’s Black voters is crucial to Biden as campaign looks ahead to swing states
South Carolina’s primary is a crucial test for President Joe Biden, who enjoys less support from Black voters compared to four years ago. Black voters make up half of the Democratic electorate in the state and were pivotal in Biden’s victory in 2020. Many express concerns about Biden’s age, his handling of the economy, and his failed student loan forgiveness plan. Younger Black voters want to see their concerns prioritized in a potential second term. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been campaigning actively in South Carolina, emphasizing their commitment to the Black community’s interests. However, a lackluster voter turnout could indicate a broader drop in enthusiasm among Black voters, which Biden will need to address to secure swing states like Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
