The DNC is worried.
Senior Officials are now raising the alarm that they are not meeting their diversity goals.
They are worried this would hamper their ability to reach out to voters and that it would be an embarrassment.
Politico reported:
Senior officials at the Democratic National Committee are sounding the alarm that the committee is falling short of its own diversity goals.
And they’re warning that if current trends aren’t changed, the delegates heading to next summer’s convention will be too white when they gather next summer to officially renominate President Joe Biden.
“I keep looking at these diversity goals in big states like New York, like California. And, for some reason, whether it’s the African American community, Black community, the LGBTQ+ community, or Hispanic community, [the] numbers continue to decrease,” Donna Brazile told her colleagues at a recent committee gathering in Washington, D.C.
“It raises a red flag in my judgment,” she said in a follow-up interview with POLITICO about the delegate plans. “And then I try to find out what the hell is it.”
In interviews with half a dozen current and former DNC members, there was heightened concern that the delegates the party may end up sending to the convention next year won’t be as diverse as they think it should be. They fear it reflects the difficulties of Biden’s reelection campaign to retain support among Black and Latino voters — key voting blocs he needs if he wants another four years in the White House.
A recent CBS poll found Biden losing ground with key groups the Democrats need to win in 2024.
CBS News reported:
Mr. Biden may be disadvantaged right now because key parts of his 2020 coalition aren’t as tuned in to the campaign yet. Black and Hispanic voters say they are less likely to be thinking about 2024 compared to White voters, and less likely (though it’s a year off) to say they’ll vote.
But for the moment, for those who will, Mr. Biden isn’t running quite as strongly right now with key Democratic constituencies he’d need. He still wins Hispanics, but with 53%, and typically successful Democrats have gotten into the 60s. By two to one, more Hispanic voters say they’re worse off financially, rather than better off, than they were before the pandemic. Mr. Biden still overwhelmingly wins Black voters, but at 81%, it’s less than exit polls showed in 2020. Typically Democrats do better.
Each of Biden and Trump’s 2020 voters are overwhelmingly supporting them again this time around, so small shifts matter. Biden today is losing 7% of those who backed him in 2020 to Trump. Trump only gives up 3% of his.
It’s long been a misnomer when independents are conflated with swing voters. In reality most so-called “independents” say they vote mainly for one party, even though they call themselves independent. Only a relative handful of them — just a third — are truly independent and vote equally for either party over time. These make a good barometer: Mr. Biden is losing our “truly independent” definition today by 20 points. He was almost even with them in their 2020 votes.
