Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)This WOC, Joyce Wilson, Gets It in South Carolina.. [View all]
And older black voters said they trust Biden to unite the country. If they turn out in large numbers next year as they did in 2016, when the over-45 age bracket represented more than 70% of those participating in the S.C. Democratic presidential primary that sensibility could prevail.
Bidens comments werent (offensive) to me, said York resident Joyce Wilson, 53, who recently was still deciding between Biden, Harris and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. (But) the news media just beat it, beat it, beat it and that kind of thing will cause divisiveness.
More comments from POC in South Carolina!
Biden is the strongest candidate that can beat Trump, said William Fairfax, a 21-year-old Claflin University student, pointing to Trumps tweets targeting Biden as evidence Republicans see the former vice president as their biggest threat.
(Biden) does not shy away from standing up to a bully, Richmond, also a former Congressional Black Caucus chairman, added.
More than a dozen black S.C. voters interviewed by The State said Biden, 76, could run on being a seasoned politician who spent nearly four decades in electoral politics, plus another eight years in the White House.
Hes been in politics for a long time, and I think hes the best candidate to beat Trump, said Jeffery Lytes, 49, of Lexington.
Im real high on experience, and Im real impressed with the experience he has, added state Sen. Kevin Johnson, D-Clarendon. I think hes the right person to bring us to victory.
Dorothy Craig, a 56-year-old from Union who has pretty much decided to vote for Biden because of his experience, agreed.
I just feel like he has the experience. I feel like we need someone who has that same experience to go back in and put it back in order.

Bonus quotes..
Fond memories
Bidens tie to Obamas tenure is motivation enough for some black S.C. voters to back him.
Travis and Cynthia Keller of Irmo a couple in their 40s said the 2010 Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is what has helped guarantee their 11-year-old son, a three-time organ transplant recipient, gets the coverage and treatment he needs.
We know that Joe will fight for us, Cynthia Keller said

Are you insinuating that other black women who don't agree with this one DON'T "get it"?
