22. He won't need Hillary's numbers. It's not a two person race.

A new economist national aggregate shows Biden w/ 48% of black vote. Bernie in 3rd with 12%. He was at 20% in 2019. Warren is at 13%. Bernie is losing black support. Biden is holding and others are gaining. So it's different.

The thing I notice is Biden's dominance in 65+ at 37%. Bernie doesn't make the top five. Biden also up in 45 to 64 w/32%. Sanders 3rd w/ 14%. These are the people who vote. And Biden is leading with them.

They have Biden first nationally with 27%, 7% higher than 2nd place Bernie.

Biden still picking up support. Wilson is really big in Miami Dade. Huge pick up.

Biden picks up backing from 4 more black lawmakers

'Reps.A quartet of black lawmakers endorsed Joe Biden for president on Tuesday, giving the former vice president his 15th endorsement from the influential Congressional Black Caucus.

Reps. Frederica Wilson and Alcee Hastings of Florida, Donald Payne Jr. of New Jersey and Sanford Bishop of Georgia each backed Biden in a joint statement first obtained by POLITICO, casting him as the candidate who can beat President Donald Trump in November and unify the nation.and Alcee Hastings of Florida, Donald Payne Jr. of New Jersey and Sanford Bishop of Georgia each backed Biden in a joint statement first obtained by POLITICO, casting him as the candidate who can beat President Donald Trump in November and unify the nation.'

And there goes Warren. She said black women were pushy. Things are fluid.

See what it says about primaries and POC? That's everywhere. There is a lot of anger over the media going after Biden. That's their guy. They want to vote for him.







If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
