Young Black Americans are rapidly losing support for President Joe Biden. Remarkably, even CNN commentator Phil Mattingly was taken aback by this revelation despite multiple warning indications in the polls.
When Mattingly was in Milwaukee, CNN chief national correspondent John King did an intense interview that nearly broke him.

King approached Devonta Johnson of Black Leaders Organizing for Communities during an open discussion with black voters. King questioned Johnson about Biden’s chances of winning reelection. Johnson said he was concerned and without hesitation said, “Yes, he would face significant challenges.”
King continued, asking, “If it were just Biden and Trump, who would you vote for?”
Johnson laughed, “That’s just a tough one.”
Mattingly was speechless. “It’s just stunning — young man there, ‘I don’t know who I’m going to vote for,’ young black man in Milwaukee,” King said. Mattingly was speechless. “It’s just stunning — young man there, ‘I don’t know who I’m going to vote for,’ young black man in Milwaukee,” King said.
At last, Mattingly uttered,
“My jaw literally dropped at the end of that piece when he didn’t say who he was going to —”
At last, Mattingly uttered, “21-year-old young black man, in the activist community — doesn’t know. Because he sees — he looks at Washington, and says, ‘What are they doing that’s relevant to my life? Nothing.”
Polling among Black Americans, especially young Black Americans, has collapsed in favor of Biden, as USA First Reporting has previously reported.

The Black Male Voter Project’s founder, W. Mondale Robinson, stated to The Washington Post, “The Democratic Party has been failing epically at reaching this demographic of Black men — and that’s sad to say. Black men are your second-most stable base overwhelmingly, and yet you can’t reach them in a way that makes your work easier.”
The WaPo/Ipsos poll from May indicates unsettling opinions about Biden among African American voters. Just 17% of respondents gave him their full support, whereas 33% expressed discontent or even rage. A lukewarm response was indicated by the plurality, or 48%, who said they would be satisfied but lacked passion.
For Trump, this might be a game-changer. According to a recent Quinnipiac University poll conducted in September, Trump might garner an astounding 25% of the black vote. Not only would this shatter previous records, but it also points to a larger trend that goes beyond Trump.
Black voters are beginning to back practically every Republican candidate in the 2024 primary in large numbers—roughly 20 percent, according to Fox News. This implies that black voters are becoming less interested in the Democratic Party.
“When the factories and the manufacturing left, jobs left,” Milwaukee voter Eric Jones told CNN. “When jobs leave and opportunities leave, then you have certain things that are domino effects.”
He proposed an easy fix, “You bring opportunities, you bring jobs, you get votes. Plain and simple.”
