A new report reveals that President Biden is losing support from young Black voters due to his administration's support for Israel in the war in Gaza. Several registered Democrats in Georgia who supported Biden in the last election stated that they would not be voting for him or former President Trump in the upcoming election due to their disagreement with the U.S. approach to the war. Some voters plan to choose an independent or third-party candidate, while others may not vote at all.
President Biden is losing support from young Black voters who helped spur his 2020 victory primarily because of his administration's support for Israel in the war in Gaza, a new report says. CNN's Rene Marsh spoke with four Black voters in Georgia who were registered Democrats and supported Biden in the last election but said they wouldn't be voting for him — or former President Trump — this November, because of their strong disagreement over the U.S. approach to the war.
If there is no substantive policy change, when it comes to the genocide in Gaza, then there's not really a discussion for me,' one young man in the group said. 'I think what Biden has done in aiding and abetting genocide is just something I cannot stand for,' another woman added. Marsh asked the group if they were worried that voting for a third-party candidate could help Trump win the election.
The voters recognized the impact their choice could make on the race, saying they were sending a message to the Democratic Party. 'I'll do you one better, actually. I think that just means that the Democrats should listen,' he responded as the others agreed. 'We're holding their election in the palm of our hands and they're not listening.
If he doesn't get elected, that's his fault,' one young man said. 'That's not our fault.' 'If enough people vote third-party, we can win,' one of the female voters said, optimistically. A Fox News poll from February found Trump leads Biden in the Peach State. Just over half of voters, 51%, say they would support Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head rematch, while 43% say they’d go for Biden.
