Joe Biden leads the 2020 Democratic field among non-white primary voters due in part to their "comfort level" with the former vice president, according to a former Democratic National Committee official. Mo Elleithee, a former DNC communications director, said Monday on "The Daily Briefing" that "it makes sense" that the former vice president is leading the field - with 38 percent support among non-white Democratic primary voters. However, Elleithee added that Biden's current standing atop the field doesn't mean that another candidate can't "chip away" at his lead with minority voters. Hatred was on the march and he knew it,” Biden said in April in response to how President Trump reacted to the situation. "I think he is laying down a marker particularly with black voters that, whatever [Trump] says, remember, he continues to try to divide us."
