Sen. Amy Klobuchar performed abysmally among black voters in the Democratic primary. It’s haunting her now as Joe Biden decides on a running mate. More than a dozen black and Latino strategists and activists warned in interviews that selecting Klobuchar would not help Biden excite black voters — and might have the opposite effect. Klobuchar would “risk losing the very base the Democrats need to win,” said Aimee Allison, founder of She the People, which promotes women of color in politics.
In South Carolina, she won 1 percent of black voters, even though they make up a majority of Democratic primary voters in the state. It was the lowest total for any of the presidential candidates on the ballot.
As for Joe himself, he's got his own set of problems:
A shorter clip showing Biden and his wife getting back into their SUV prompted a lot of commentary online, as the candidate appeared to be frail. Taking small, measured steps, Biden was holding onto Jill Biden’s hand and seemed a bit off-balanced.
These observations have led to growing speculation that the former vice-president may be suffering from dementia. On the other hand, he may be auditioning for a position in the Ministry of Silly Walks.
