How Biden Is Winning Over Black Dominant States
As
the time nears for the US presidency 2020, the number of contestants is
dropping off from the race. In a sudden change of events, Mr.Pete Buttigieg and
Ms. Amy Klobuchar both dropped from the race. Instead, they have decided to
endorse Biden on the eve of Super Tuesday. They are now trying to support him
to run against the liberal front-runner, Mr. Bernie Sanders.
Joining
them was former Representative Beto O’Rourke of Texas, who dropped out of the
presidential race last fall.
The
one person to benefit from this exit would be Elizabeth Warren. She enjoys
favor in many states and a large majority of delegates as well.
As
for Biden is concerned, his strength lies with black voters for a change, a
large voting bank of America. This could help him in Southern states. Sanders
is known to be strong in California, the biggest prize on the Super Tuesday
map, as well as Texas and New England.
South
Carolina is being seen as an important win for Biden. The two things bothering would be California
win for Sanders and the presence of Bloomberg. The latter however did not seem
to have got the message that billionaires were not being taken seriously in
these states. Biden has won the African
American stronghold, something that could not hold good for the other
contenders.
Mr.
Sanders looks strong in Texas and California, states which have had early
voting. He will also have to cover Alabama
and Tennessee, places with predominant black population. It is also known for a
large pool of the kind of non-college educated white Democrats that Sanders
does so well with. Sanders won Oklahoma in 2016, and it wouldn't be a surprise
if he did so again this year. It would also help if he beat expectations in the
Deep South, even if he doesn't notch any wins.
