disrupted the presidential race, forcing several states with significant black populations, like Georgia, to postpone their primaries. African Americans have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.found nearly one-third of those who have died are African American, with black people representing just 14% of the population in the areas covered in the analysis.
Meeks said he believes Biden is well-suited to address the lasting impact of the pandemic and he’d like to see an agenda from him that specifically addresses racial disparities that have long plagued black Americans. Many of the nation’s front-line workers, who are among the most at risk, are black Americans and other people of color.
“There’s no question in my mind that there needs to be an agenda that pushes forward black America,” Meeks said. “Joe Biden has proven that he has the ability to get things done and that he has a vision to bring us together and have an agenda of significant importance for the black community.” The CBC PAC endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. When asked what will be the road map to winning the election this time after Democrats suffered a bitter defeat, Meeks said it’s simple: Listen to black women, who are among the Democratic Party’s most loyal voting bloc.
“Black women over-performed in 2016, and had we listened to them, we might not have the person that’s there now,” Meeks said.“There was a reason why Barack Obama chose Joe Biden to be his vice president,” Meeks said. “He is the appropriate person now to step forward and take the reins of this great nation of ours.”Kat Stafford is a member of The Associated Press’ Race and Ethnicity team.
_Politics AP all propaganda
This white voter is long-time fan of the Congressional Black Caucus. They know what the full suite of working people need and can see through the...what Biden politely calls 'malarkey' as well or better than any other Congressional alliance.
same party, same rhetoric, same policies, vote the same get the same
Is there a white caucas
Wow. That’s as climactic as the sound a straw makes when there isn’t anything left to drink.
They will never learn
_Politics That’s more shocking than Obama endorsing Biden when he was the only one left in the race.
I may not want Trump re-elected, but they're roasting Biden online.🙄 Gotta admit tho, they ARE kinda funny!😅
BernieSanders was there.
So I'm not really questioning it, but, a PAC can be made up of anyone and named anything. Technically. So, the Congressional Black Caucas PAC doesnt necessarily need to be made up of black people. Joe just got a meaningless endorsement from a ball of anonymous money.
2 terms of a Black Democrat President gave them zero, Biden will give even less.
Blind faith 🤦🏾♂️
Fake news!
Bernie for VP
😂 😂 😂
They're completely worthless.
Woo! Go JoeBiden!
Endorsing a rapist. Brilliant.
It’s understandable to identify with how you look, however the way you look has been politicized, monetized, and turned into something that you and I did not define. what is the definition of black political leadership?
Lmao. Who cares?
Bad move
Considering its comprised of Democrats if they didn't there would be something fishy.
mizdonna
does this mean Biden is ready to announce his running mate?
Love how the Democrat party still thinks they have “control” over the black vote. Hilarious! Get in line black sheep!
Stop the presses!! Black Caucus is supporting a Democrat. Water is wet, and the sky is blue.
Shocking
No shit
He doesn't have my vote, just yet. Are they demanding he pick Kamala Harris as vice president? She's just as Worthy as the person he's going to pick.

The Congressional Black Caucus is 100% democrats. It's almost like one party has set out an entire platform based on racism against black people, and black people have decided to not support that party.

AP NEWS IS FAKE NEWS!
mizdonna They all line up lockstep behind a racist. Party over principles and all that...
Isn’t it racist to have your own group that other races are not allowed to be a part of? I guess we aren’t all equal after all.
Oh u mean the Black Caucus who have sold out Black Americans for decades... that Black Caucus...

Of course they are. They do the same shit every time and they complain about the same shit every time. Keep losing dumbasses.
I guess they don’t like progress.
None of these clowns are influential it’s the fossils of yesteryear. From the headline to the article this propaganda piece is bogus. Biden has no real black support.
Good that they waited to endorse the old white guy who is gonna be on the ballot.
How’d that work for Hillary
YAWN! Their's a big friggin surprise, if the Anti Christ was Democrat they'd support him!
There ya go BC. Keep holding your people down and not doing shit for them by supporting job creation. Over 50% of violent crimes committed by blacks (10% of pop) Dems don't do shit for the economy. Less poverty=less crime. Joe will make it worse by enabling
With soooo many alternatives, they picked the best! Hurray for Joe's Senate campaign!!
Who do they ever back a Republican candidate. This is not news
CandaceOwens
What about Diamond and Silk?
This is what is necessary, what is naturally expected.
But CBC doesn’t represent the entire black community
I think I speak for all black people when I say “We got yo’ back, Joe!”
Supporting a racist dementia candidate. Just like they supported a treasonous soy boy in Obama.
Trumps done more for African-Americans in three years then Biden did a lifetime
They did that with Hillary and look where that got them?
Oh okay 🥴.
Goodluck with that
So happy they arelistening to the actual people of color. So sad the swampis and out of touch
Jus goes to show you the Democratic Party is all about power. The man has a long history of openly racist policies. Can’t even make up how funny this landslide is going to be for realDonaldTrump Trump2020Landslide
As if they wouldn’t endorse the Democratic nominee? 🙄
You might want to change your name, AP, because I see ''Ass'' in the name! 😂😭
Why? What has the Democrats done?! The DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
White leftists don’t care about Joe Biden sexually assaulting women. Why should they?
hahahaha
LOL Black PIPO
Do you mean the African-American corporate sellouts? Lolol ok
Biden will be so happy to hear Corn Pop is endorsing him for the Senate.
Apparently historical good economic and employment numbers are an issue for them.
