For Congressional Black Caucus Members, Holding Out For Biden Was About Loyalty


LOADING ERROR LOADINGIn the three weeks after his ill-fated debate, one group held conspicuously firm in their demand that President Joe Biden remain atop the Democrats’ ticket in November: the 59-member Congressional Black Caucus. Even if that steadfastness meant Vice President Kamala Harris, a former CBC member herself, would remain as the White House No. While elected party members, party officials and grassroots party delegates to the national convention quickly signed on to Harris, it was not obvious that was going to happen before Biden stepped aside. Johnson said he wasn’t worried about Harris’ standing with Black voters. As for concerns among some Black voters Harris may not play as well with the broader electorate as Biden did, Clyburn had his own answer when he appeared Sunday on CNN.
