President Joe Biden.
  • Ahead of November, young Black voters are indicating that their turnout could fall below 2020 levels.
  • A Washington Post-Ipsos poll revealed that only 41% of young Black voters said they were certain to vote this year.
  • It's a number that is sure to alarm Democrats, who are working to boost minority support in 2024.

In 2020, Black Americans were instrumental in sending President Joe Biden to the White House, buoying his candidacy not only in the Democratic primaries but in the general election.

Biden won 92 percent of the Black vote overall that year, while also easily winning millennials and Gen Z voters, according to the Pew Research Center.
