Democrats on Sunday fanned out on the major cable TV talk shows in defense of President Joe Biden's record with predictions that by November he would win a second term behind the support of Black voters.
Recent polling in a handful of swing states shows support for the incumbent Democratic president slipping with a voting bloc that was crucial to electing him in 2020. In Pennsylvania, for example, 69% of Black voters said they favored Biden over Donald Trump, the former president and presumptive Republican nominee.
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who earned 91% percent of the Black vote during his 2022 Senate run, said during an appearance on CNN that he still thinks the president will "prevail" in Pennsylvania.
"Joe Biden is showing up again and again," Fetterman said. "I can't speak specifically about the Black (voters) and their own opinions. I can't speak to their experience. But I do believe that Joe Biden is going to carry those kinds of margins and I think he is going to win Pennsylvania. But it's going to be very close."

Joe Biden isn't perfect, and we all know that. But he has done way, way more to advance the causes of Blacks and other minorities than Chump ever did or ever would. I can't believe anyone would think otherwise.
