Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) dismissed polls suggesting that President Joe Biden is losing black support to his opponent, former President Donald Trump.
“Something is amiss with the polling,” Clyburn said. “Anybody who believes that Donald Trump will get 30% of the Black male vote or 12% of the Black female vote — I got a bridge down there on Johns Island I’ll sell you.”
As an example, Clyburn pointed to Sen. Jon Ossoff’s 2020 campaign, which polling did not project would be successful but was. Clyburn also cited Sen. Raphael Warnock’s bad showing in the polls before winning his seat. When Lizza asked Clyburn if he had worries about the campaign not reaching black voters, the congressman suggested the real enemy is misinformation.
“I’m going to tell you what concerns me,” Clyburn said. “What concerns me is the disinformation and misinformation that’s being peddled out here. What really concerns me is the fact that, for some strange reason, the media are more concerned with trying to balance stories rather than report the facts. That bothers me to no end.”, in which Biden won 92% of the black vote. In 2020, black voters made up 13.5% of all eligible voters.
