President Biden’s campaign is facing hurdles in retaining support among black and Latino voters. In the wake of recent polls indicating a decline in support among crucial demographics, President Joe Biden’s campaign is intensifying its efforts to solidify its base among black and Latino voters.
The campaign’s principal deputy manager, Quentin Fulks, cited this year’s off-year elections as evidence of Democratic vigor, particularly regarding the issue of abortion. Fulks expressed confidence that Biden’s coalition would reassemble with renewed vigor in the upcoming November elections, thanks to substantial investments and resources.
Fulks, the principal deputy campaign manager, asserted, “Democrats are energized, and this is particularly evident in their engagement around the issue of abortion.” This commitment to key issues is seen as a pivotal element in reinvigorating support among diverse communities.
However, Fulks emphasized that complacency was not an option, stating, “Looking forward, we can’t take anything for granted.” He acknowledged that the political landscape had become increasingly fragmented, and investments in the campaign’s strategy were essential to navigate this challenging terrain effectively.
Fulks explained, “We feel that we’re in a strong position next year to scale up peer-to-peer conversation.” Making politics more relatable and involving more people in communicating with those they can relate to is a priority. Key messengers for the campaign will include President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“We have to make politics more relatable, we have to get more people involved in communicating with folks that they can relate to, and the key messengers for our campaign will be people like the president and Vice President Kamala Harris.

When questioned about separate polling that indicated eroding support among Palestinian Americans, Arab Americans, and Muslim Americans, particularly in the battleground state of Michigan, Fulks highlighted the importance of avoiding politicization. He stated, “We are focused on making sure that leaders on both sides of this issue, voters on both sides of this issue hear where we’re coming from.”
As President Biden’s campaign charts its course towards re-election, it is clear that they are not taking any voter group for granted. With a multifaceted strategy that combines energizing key issues, modern communication methods, and targeted investments, they aim to rebuild and strengthen their diverse coalition for the challenging election ahead.
