South Carolina Dem Congressman Jim Clyburn, a guy who one could pretty reasonably say did as much as Donald Trump to help Joe Biden win the 2020 presidential election, is hitting the road to help shore up Black support for Joe’s reelection bid, having already made stops in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh over the weekend with more stops planned for other swing states, Punchbowl reports.
“I don’t know what this polling is all about,” said Clyburn in an interview. “Joe Biden does not have a problem with Black voters. Whatever you hear to the contrary, that’s just not true” (There is actual pretty solid evidence Clyburn is correct). Clyburn’s itinerary, which is heavy on radio interviews on shows popular with Black listeners, includes stops in Ohio, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada later this year, as well as at a lot of HBCUs. “I want young people to look at this year’s campaign and be selfish about their vote,” Clyburn said. Not exactly sure what that means but the guy’s pretty smart.
