Black voters in South Carolina helped send Joe Biden to the White House in 2020. Now, a year into his presidency, Biden is hoping he can maintain the support of Black voters, though some loyalists are dispirited by his performance.

Just 6 in 10 Black Americans said they approved of Biden in a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, down from about 9 in 10 who approved in polls conducted through the first six months of Biden’s presidency.

Dennis Brothers, who supported Biden “from the very beginning,” said he felt things were going “pretty well,” although he is frustrated by Biden not honoring a campaign promise to cancel — not delay — some amounts of“That has been a disappointment,” said Brothers, a 31-year-old media specialist from Calhoun County. “I just hope that some of those promises that were made, are kept.”

Margaret Sumpter, a 64-year-old rural community advocate from Hopkins, blamed the stagnation of voting rights on congressional gridlock, not inaction from Biden, who she said was discovering that the bipartisan successes he had as a longtime senator didn’t necessarily translate to the presidency. “His campaign sold us on the idea that he was going to support some Black issues, and that’s not really happened,” said Lincoln, 44. “The people that were in his corner thought that was going to be the best move for him. It was more political strategy than anything.”

“Black people are the reason Joe Biden is president, and I don’t feel ... that there has been one time that he’s ever shown us a ‘thank you’ by way of policy,” said Frazier-Gaines. “Yes, his administration has given a lot of talented Black people opportunities to serve in different positions. All of that is cute, but that’s not doing anything to put food on the tables of Black families across the country.

“I don’t think he would have wasted all this time just for it to be lip service,” said Maxwell. “I think he’s very genuine, and I think he wants to keep everybody happy.”

First sentence is wrong. Nobody in South Carolina helped send Joe Biden to the White House. Trump won the state by 12% and was awarded the nine electoral votes.

Send Biden MORE senators maybe

He did tell his donors nothing would change.

Did they really think they were going to get a different Joe Biden?

Honestly, you guys are going to get Trump or some white supremacist like him get elected back into office.

His performance may have to do with GOP resistance

So are black voters going to turn to the republicans for an alternative?

Biden only wants Black voters, but doesn’t plan on improving their lives at all. Typical of a Democrat. Why do Black vote for Democrats? Anybody’s guess. Follow the money..

And weren't they conned on that a bad decision all round

He isn’t maintaining a lot of white voters either.

Nearly all significant legislation has been blocked by Republicans and a law that allows the minority government to talk and waste time for hours to do so. Republicans are making government ineffective on purpose to win elections. If that's what Americans want do them the favor.

And If you’re out of Hope then don’t let the door hit you on the way out. If you’re giving up, you haven’t been in the fight long enough. I’m vested in this struggle. My grandparents were in their late 70’s before they were able to cast their 1st ballot.

You see when you elect the bare minimum cause the other option was thrash too. The American political machinery needs to starts pushing out reliable candidates. Joe Biden and Kamala are the definition of bare minimum

The CBC should change their name the the Congressional Biden Caucus. They are not abandoning him.

If they are freelancers or self-employed of any sort, they do NOT want to vote him into ANYTHING. 59 million freelancers he intends to DESTROY. For no other reason than he collects massive donations from the DYING UNIONS. (they are dying for a reason.)

Who else could they possibly vote for? The only choice would be not to vote at all.

Across the U.S., just 6 in 10 Black Americans said they approved of Biden in a recent poll by The AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, down from about 9 in 10 who approved in polls conducted through the first six months of Biden’s presidency.
