Black Vote Remains Key to Biden’s Fortunes

James Hohmann: “It’s a big break for Biden that Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Warren have so utterly failed to racially diversify their coalitions. None of the three will get any delegates out of South Carolina, despite campaigning extensively there over the past year. Warren got 5 percent of the black vote, Buttigieg got 3 percent and Klobuchar got less than 1 percent. It’s impossible to become the Democratic nominee with those kinds of numbers. Klobuchar has been unable to translate her momentum from the overwhelmingly white states of Iowa and New Hampshire into either of the racially diverse states that followed. If demographics alone are destiny, Biden is also poised to fare well in Florida on March 17 and Georgia on March 24.”
