Joe Biden is struggling to connect with young voters, particularly those of color — a serious problem for the former vice president that started during the presidential primary
At the center of all three crises are black Americans.
“This is a moment where people are disillusioned in institutions,” said Branden Snyder, executive director of Detroit Action, a grassroots organization that works to mobilize black and brown voters from economically marginalized communities. “I'm worried that a lot of our first-time voters, and a lot of them are young voters, are going ... to completely opt out of the system.”
The must-win swing voters for Democrats, said Nse Ufgot, executive director of New Georgia Project, “are people who swing between not voting and voting, not necessarily between parties.” Ufgot’s group registers and mobilizes young black voters in Georgia, a state Democrats think they could make competitive.on criminal justice reform and the economy, said Justin Myers, CEO of the progressive group For Our Future.
“They don’t want Trump to win, but the question is: Can you convince them that they want Biden to win? That difference — between not wanting Trump and wanting Biden — that’s the difference we’re seeking for turning out thousands of votes in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin,” said Josh Ulibarri, a Democratic pollster.
Young people who did not back Biden in the primary "are the same ones who are protesting in the streets right now, who hold his political record as responsible for the pain they are feeling right now,” said Terrance Woodbury, a Democratic pollster who conducted the focus groups for Black Lives Matter earlier this year. “There is some atonement that needs to happen there.”
