Black voters are expected to vote for Joe Biden over President Trump by about an 80-point margin, according to polling estimates. But political analysts say Black voters over age 65 in particular are expected to play a pivotal role in deciding Biden's fate

that there is a generational divide in the Black community, in which older Black people are substantially more supportive of Biden, more trusting of the Democratic Party and more enthusiastic to vote than younger cohorts of Black people.by the Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape polling initiative

Hakeem Jefferson, an assistant professor of political science at Stanford University, said the Democratic primaries — in which "Usually people don't approach elections with fear. You may have your preference as to whom you want to win, but you don't have that fear that if the other person wins that so much will be destroyed," Lottie Shackelford, women's caucus chair of the Democratic National Committee, said of her mobilization efforts among senior Black voters."That's what stands out most for me, this fear that people are having.

can strike a particularly sensitive chord for older Black voters who experienced firsthand how racism has been used to limit access to the voting booth.

And you wonder why peoples call you fake news?

Do what is expected by white liberals. /s

Bravo! Amen! 💖💕

When black people become freedom thinkers white liberals lose their mind.

Just remember, according to JoeBiden “you ain’t black if you don’t vote for me.” The democrats have used race bating for the past 60 years! What have the democrats done for you?

No. It’s not about deciding Biden’s fate. It’s about deciding the fate of the American people.

🇺🇸 EXCLUSIVE_REPORT U.S. ECONOMY grew at its fastest pace ever in the third quarter as a nation battered by an unprecedented pandemic started to put itself back together, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.

Bullshit!

During a radio interview Biden played his pandering hand once again to the African American community by bringing up Aretha Franklin's song 'respect' as one of his 'supposedly favorite' Playlist songs as he misspelled the word 'respect'. 🙄

Trust the other white devil 😈 instead 🧵sharks 🦈 surround a see 🌊 of red 🍎 i believe eye 👁 have misspelled something 🤔wonder what it could B do you sea 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊

Can I bet the under on this? Like everything I own?

Good Thing, none 👈🏿 None 👈🏿 Of the Brown 👈🏿👈🏿👈🏿 People I know 🤔 Have EVER been polled... So who’d they ask 🧐

Joe Biden built systemic racism. Trump passed criminal justice reform. Lookup the Platinum Plan - real financial reform to benefit Black Americans. We need outsider Trump to finish what he started.

Preserve being black by voting Biden. This is all you're worth to him.

the nation's fate being decided

Well, that is actually good news for realDonaldTrump because Black voters typically vote for the democrat by larger margins. Hillary got almost 90% (2016) and Obama got 93% (2012). That means at least 10% more are for Trump and those are big numbers.

Black men voting trump in record numbers walkaway Dems have false promises.

Lets see on one side is a guy who l9ves hate speech, never condems evil like kkk or home grown vigilanti groups and thinks himself god and then there is biden who does condem the shooting of unarmed black men so elderly or not, black ppl and anyone with a heart will vote joe

Trump didn do nothing for a afro Americans, he was saying that he did but clearly seen that he did not do nothing good, he gave permission to police to kill a black people, that is not what I called do the right thing. Its to be racist again

Biden may not like those over age 65

Well d-uh! Joe said, ‘if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black!’

President Trump is the only president in the last 30 years who didn't start a war or attacked another country. Instead he brings our soldiers home. Generals who profit on wars&conflicts hate him.The establishment wants its power back by any means necessary

The TIME IS NOW 🇺🇸 Join Me and VOTE OUT the CURRENT PRESIDENT Join In our 'Prep Rally' Listen Now...VOTE TODAY JasonLightbearerForPresident

key phrase and the most insulting part I would imagine is being black and reading 'Black voters are expected to vote for Joe Biden...' anything that comes after that doesnt matter. read it again 'Black voters are expected to vote for Joe Biden'

Trump is just seeing this and not really worried because he still doesn’t believe they have the right to vote anyway

I'd rather have a good job& lower taxes($2000more auto deduc)from a Pres who's a strong leader, than 4Trillion tax hike,jobs2other countries&long-lasting shutdown from an older guy who won't talk policies,just blames others,has done no good in 47yrs&often can't complete a thought

You corrupt media hacks should be prosecuted for not covering this

Only in America can you go from Prostitute to Prosecutor to President in 3 Ez Sleazy Steps VOTE RIGHT VOTE RED OR SURRENDER TO COMMUNIST CHINA 🇨🇳 With your guns and Ammo! Wake up FOLKS!

So the old wise ones who didn’t get led astray by the whole gangsta movement of the nineties.

Yeah, but when your choice is between John Waller or Tom Lea that's really NO CHOICE.

Viva Trump 💯, Latinos congratulate you✌ Never Trust Socialism

Hunter Hunter Hunter? TonyBobulinski HunterBiden chinabitchjoe bidenlaptopmatters

I wonder, what will it say for the American system, if Biden wins the popular vote by over 8 million votes and still loses the presidency, what kind of democracy is that?

So they choose a candidate who did ‘94crime bill vs a Pres who did criminal justice reform, funded black colleges n giving school choice n plan invest in minority neighborhoods, d mental shackles f Dems w/ d Black community is hard 2 shake off. No wonder Dems think they own them.

Biden admits that his crime bill was a mistake. I think he’s changed. By havibg Harris on his his ticket that shows.

Popular vote vs Electoral college

Poll America must be correct What is the reason for you Voting

You should ask BrandonStraka about it. I see lots of black people are WalkAwayFromDemocrats TonyBobulinski

Time for another 60 years of failed liberal policies. I'm sure THIS TIME is the charm.

Black voters are 'expected' to vote for Joe Biden 👀

In other news, says 80% of the black community prefers to remain on the Democratic plantation.

Nothing about China and Biden family corruption? Keep shilling for Democrats NBC.

My Parenst are in a religion that doesn’t supporting and they are voting! Trust me all Black are voting and they are over 70!!

That is the problem with the Democrat party. They EXPECT black voters to vote for Biden. Run away from the plantation, Folks.

I don't understand.🙃🤔🧐

Trump: sued for housing discrimination, pushed for innocent black youths to be executed, told female ppl of color (POC) to go back where they came from, called peaceful NFL players SOB. Nominated 95% whites to judge seats, 1 black on his cabinet. NO POC should vote 4 him

Just vote and I will accept it. My vote is in, get yours in. Vote for what you see is right.

Matt Gaetz says Biden will 'take Black America for granted' after Ice Cube snubThe Republican lawmaker praised Ice Cube's plan for Black America as he criticized Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Unfortunately it's come to a point that you have to take a side. Being in the middle just means you're a trump supporter. Trump has created this environment, the great divider White racist said what? Matt comes across as the type of guy who’d have his finger on the pulse of Black America (not).
