Here’s why Biden’s bleeding support among black and young Americans

A man is only as trustworthy as the word he keeps, and the greater the promise, the greater the disappointment when he doesn’t deliver.

Millions watched their American dream float away like it was filled with helium amid the pandemic and unprecedented lockdowns — but Joe Biden said he’d bring it back down to earth, promising to place economic prosperity in our possession in exchange for our vote.

But as we enter the next election cycle, more and more voters are realizing his vow was meant not for people in America but those outside our borders who walk right across them.

A New York Times-Siena College survey shows Donald Trump is leading Joe Biden among registered voters in five out of six key battleground states in the 2024 race.

Most striking in the new poll: Black Americans and young voters, crucial demographics typically strong in Democratic support, are moving in the direction of Donald Trump.

When asked who they’d vote for if the election were held today, 22% of black and 46% of 18- to 29-year-old registered voters said Trump.

That’s a huge shift: Only 8% of black voters nationally went for Trump in 2020.

While Democratic media pundits and politicians are attempting to figure out what caused this rise in support for their arch-nemesis Trump by conducting roundtables to talk amongst themselves in their DC bubble, regular Americans with common sense know the answer: It’s the economy, stupid.

Biden vowed to secure the future of both demographics and has broken his promises in less than one term.

Younger voters traditionally lean heavily in the direction of Democrats primarily because of social issues.

But they’re being locked out of the housing market due to inflation and rising interest rates and bearing insurmountable college-loan and sometimes credit-card debt; they can’t focus on trivial social causes while being financially shackled to a stagnant economy.

Many feel the adults around them pushed them into accepting the risky financial venture of a loan in exchange for a college education to compete in a modern-day workforce, but the only guarantee they saw was that everyone attached to higher learning gets paid instead of them.

Whether you agree with this move or not, Biden promised to give them economic relief by healing their college-debt wounds, but the most he did was place a dollar-store Band-Aid to delay their bleeding.

Black American households got downtrodden economically from the lockdown measures Democratic politicians put in place and continuously lengthened — and it created an unprecedented level of resentment toward the party they’ve been loyal to since the Civil Rights movement.

Black working-age unemployment outpaced that of white Americans in the pandemic, and black business ownership collapsed 41% thanks to the lockdown measures Biden and Democrats advocated — far worse than for any other ethnic group.

No wonder many black Americans are reconsidering their choice of president in 2024.

As an added insult, the Biden administration’s failure to secure our border has led Democratic mayors like Chicago’s Brandon Johnson to place migrants in black neighborhoods like South Shore and siphon their community’s resources without the residents’ blessing.

In May, the Chicago City Council even voted to transfer $51 million in city funds to Chicago’s new arrivals, leaving black Chicagoans who’ve been there for generations wondering if they still count.

The reason Biden didn’t keep his promises had nothing to do with a lack of resources but a lack of interest in following through.

The Biden administration has shown a general disdain for Americans who have an insufficient number of zeros in their bank-account balance.

The American people who barely have a few hundred dollars in their savings account have watched this administration purposefully allow human traffickers to bring people from all over the world through our southern border and the Democratic Party, under Biden’s leadership, pillage our tax dollars to financially support people who aren’t even supposed to be here.

Joe Biden and Democrats want you to see them as the party of empathy and bold promises, but it’s become disturbingly clear who these are for: It’s not us Americans.
