- An a episode of NYT's "The Run-Up," Black voters discussed Biden, Trump, and the Democratic Party.
- Several Black voters expressed varying degrees of disappointment with the administration.
- One Black voter told The Times he perceives Democrats as empowering Black women over Black men.
In 2020, Black voters were the bedrock of President Joe Biden's electoral coalition, with the pivotal bloc helping him win hard-fought swing states like Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania — while also overwhelmingly backing Democratic congressional candidates across the country.
