Alarm Bells Should Be Going Off Regarding Biden’s Campaign Strategy.
It’s feeling like 2016 all over again.
In an attempt to garner enthusiasm and support for a campaign that has undeniably been struggling, Joe Biden’s team has announced a series of task forces with the expressed purpose of joining the left and the conservative among the democratic party ranks to generate policy proposals that will appeal to voters. While there’s no denying that the former Vice President has made much more of an effort to at least appear to be reaching out to Bernie Sanders’ base, his campaign has made other decisions for the approaching election strategy that have at least raised my own personal alarm bells.
Joe Biden is struggling with Latino voter support, and is doing little to correct it.
Yahoo reports:
“…Biden’s primary campaign had a distant, if not “tense,” relationship with Latino voters as he not only neglected to reach out to them but never quite rectified “his connection to the Obama administration’s aggressive deportation policy,” Politico reports. Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee “in spite of, not because of” his Latino outreach, Politico writes, but more than 20 Latino political operatives say his luck may not hold in the general election.
