DCCC partnered with minority-owned firms to listen to African American voters in North Carolina
By Simone Pathe @ RollCall.com, Sept. 9
[....] In North Carolina, the DCCC contracted with Vision Strategy and Insights, a minority- and women-owned research firm, to conduct three focus groups in early July. The efforts and the ensuing digital and radio ad campaign are part of the DCCC’s “Cycle of Engagement,” which launched in June as a follow-up to 2018’s “Year of Engagement” program to reach out to minority and young voters.
Some of the findings from the focus group surprised even Seawright, who also hails from the South. Minority voters don’t like Trump. But they need to hear about more than Trump to increase their motivation to vote.
“Donald Trump is not the thing that moves them in the way people think,” Seawright said.
Another surprise to Seawright, who produced ads for African American radio in the district, was that national figures or celebrities aren’t necessarily the most effective messengers. Rural minority voters didn’t have much awareness of national political figures, suggesting to the researchers that local community leaders may be better surrogates [....]

'I don’t see any path for Biden to win the nomination without South Carolina'
The former vice president is betting it all on the black vote.

This is promising. Rural black voters have been ignored.

Re: This is promising. Rural black voters have been ignored.
So you're on board with stop talking so much about Trump?! Who knew?
And the political correctness thing? You think a lot of rural people care about that?
How about the bi-partisan thing that Biden (and Obama) is not ashamed to push?
from the Politico article:
It doesn't say anything about the targeted group complaining about racism and white supremacists. They seem to have the same concerns as their white rural neighbors, go figure.

Not that I've looked at this closely, but I'm betting Tom Steyer's going to shake things up when he hits the Oct debates. Though I did appreciate Kamala Harris' justice proposal. Liz Warren declaring an end to fracking everywhere? Utter pandering stupidity.

I made a comment. You come with an attack. The article noted that there are 10 million black voters in rural areas.
This election is still about Trump. This should be an easy pickup for the GOP. If the Democrats wins, or the race is close, it shows that Trump fatigue has spread to Red areas.
