At the lowest point of his 2020 fight for the Democratic nomination, President Joe Biden’s campaign put its faith in Black voters to provide the spark that turned things around. As he heads into the summer facing an uphill climb to be reelected, the president’s campaign is working overtime to make sure what was once a political lifeline remains in his corner.

“I don’t accept the premise that there’s any erosion of Black support,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson told reporters Thursday after a meeting with Biden, saying public polling has proven to be unreliable. “What I do believe is we are in a crisis of our democracy. We must decide whether or not we’re going to have a functioning democracy that is representative of all of the citizens or something less than that,' he added.
