EP36: Joe Biden: Black Base is Ridin' with Biden Before a Make or Break Week. With only 120 days until election day and 43 days until the DNC Convention in Chicago, President Joe Biden’s presidential run for re-election is at a tipping point. As concerns about his mental ability to run an energetic campaign against former President Donald Trump, Biden is being challenged by members of his own party to leave the race.
This podcast will focus on how this moment arrived, what the state of play is currently and what is likely to happen next. It will also focus on the fact that mainstream media is ignoring the fact that the grassroots base of the Democratic Party — Black voters — are not interested in tossing President Biden aside as the Democratic nominee.

But with control of the White House, U.S. House and U.S. Senate on the line, there is likely to be consequential news this week on the fate of Biden’s run for office.
With Virginia’s senior Senator Mark Warner and five members of the U.S. Congress publicly saying he should step aside, the second week of July 2024 will be consequential in the Democrats’ effort to stop former President Donald Trump from returning in to power.
