Why Black Voters Aren’t Backing Biden in 2024

In this episode, we’re focusing on Biden’s loss of support among Black voters, which has been dramatic in a number of polls. Black voters were crucial in Biden’s 2020 election, but recent polls have shown half of Black voters wanting a different candidate, and growing numbers who either said they wouldn’t vote at all or would support Trump. It’s clear so many working-class people want a genuine alternative to business as usual in the 2024 elections, but what can we do to fight for it? We’re lucky to have with us Ryan Watson, who is a tech worker based in Chicago, a Workers Strike Back activist, a rank-and-file member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and a leading member of the Black Caucus of Socialist Alternative. Ryan is going to help us understand what the South Carolina primary results show about Black voter consciousness, and what Black working and young people can and should do to fight for a better world.
