If Biden doesn't do well on Super Tuesday, it could mean the end of his campaign
prominent black women — Sen. Kamala D. Harris , former first lady Michelle Obama and former Democratic candidate for Georgia governor Stacey Abrams — as potential vice presidential picks. But interviews with 10 black female voters in Henderson — stopped on their way in or out of the local Dollar General — suggest Biden’s efforts might not be working.
It’s hard to feel any other way, Evans says, when presidential candidates never come to town, even though North Carolina is a battleground state, where candidates spend a lot of time. You’ll hear about their rallies in Raleigh and Durham, she says, both about 45 minutes away. But in the 26 years she’s lived in Henderson, Evans can’t remember a time when a national political figure ever stopped by.
For a while, people here were solidly behind Biden, says Shirley Ball, 66, a retired probation and parole officer. But that was mostly because of his connection to Obama, she says, who is wildly popular among most black voters in Henderson. Now that people have done their “homework,” she suspects Henderson residents are realizing there was a lot the Obama-Biden administration didn’t do for communities like theirs. Like Bell-Hansley, Ball started out as a Biden supporter.
“I’m only an undergrad and I’m already in $50,000 of debt. And I plan on continuing through to my master’s, so it’s only going to keep piling up,” Aulty says. She’s getting her degree in human services, working toward a career in the mental health field.Bell-Hansley appreciates Sanders’s consistency, especially on civil rights.
