The Pew Research Center reported that 95% of black female voters supported Biden in 2020, but a new poll by Data for Progress shows that number has dropped to 70%. Another survey by the Cut indicated an even lower level of support, with only 64% of black women backing Biden. In battleground states, a majority of black Democrats believe Biden should endorse Harris if he were to step down. This shift in support among black women is causing concern among Democratic pundits, who fear that Biden may struggle to retain this crucial voting bloc in the next election. Some prominent Democrats, including Rep. Marc Veacey, have publicly called for Biden to step aside, while others, like Rep. Jim Clyburn, have expressed support for Harris as a potential successor.
