23. You nailed it...the remake of the Obama coalition!

I truly believe a black woman should be the VP. We need to juice turnout in the black centers of this country like Atlanta, Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, etc. to flip these states to blue.

Michelle Obama would be the ideal VP, but Abrams would be great too! I'm sure there are some other fantastic black candidates as well that might not be so known right now.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Biden's continued strength with Black voters has to be very concerning for other candidates. Gothmog Aug 2019 #15

Why? Those numbers won't move much until actual voting starts BeyondGeography Aug 2019 #16

The top candidates have similar support from men and women. Eric J in MN Sep 2019 #24
