(((▪︎Biden makes hard push for African American vote▪︎)))
Joe Biden is making an aggressive play for African American voters in the South, part of a campaign strategy to ride his frontrunner status to an early Democratic primary victory in 2020.
Biden, who served as vice president for eight years under Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president, made white supremacists and neo-Nazis marching in Charlottesville, Va., the focal point of his campaign launch video Thursday.
He’s spent a significant time traveling to South Carolina and other southern states over the years; he’s hiring a diverse group of minority staffers, including Symone Sanders; and has been calling and texting with black lawmakers on Capitol Hill, especially those representing African American communities in the South, trying to win their support.
