      It seems that African Americans are very loyal to Biden and excited by him more than they were about Hillary. But there were people on the ground intimidating anyone of color in the last election. That may account for some of the lower turn out.

      Black voter share of the Dem electorate, 2016 to 2020: AL: 54%—>49% (-5) SC: 61%—>56% (-5) NC: 32%—>27% (-5) TN: 32%—>26% (-6) TX: 19%—>20% (+1) VA: 26%—>28% (+2) Biden won black voters in the South, but there was no turnout surge & not much evidence there will be one in Nov.

      Do you know how math works? A smaller percentage of a larger number is not comparable. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/0S7FTT6Bib

      A smaller percentage still means that the nature of Biden's coalition is different -- it's less African-American than Hillary Clinton's coalition and more suburban white (many former GOP).

          I dunno. He did seven out of ten in a five candidate field, increased turnout across the board. Apples and a different kind of apple?
