🧵🧵🧵I spent the day at the AKA convention in Dallas where VP Harris spoke and I am still hard pressed to find a Black voter who thinks it’s a good idea to push President Biden off the ticket even people who are mega fans of Harris. I am just not hearing this from Black voters.
First up is Dennisa Thomas.
She's a 31-year-old systems engineer from Kansas City, Missouri.
She told me she trusts VP Kamala Harris' judgement and is following Harris' lead in continuing to support the Democratic ticket as it currently stands.
Jill Nickerson is a 61-year-old retired school counselor in Wynne, Arkansas.
She continues to support the Biden/Harris ticket. She's sympathetic about Biden's debate performance, "If every time I didn't do my job the right way, I got fired or chewed out, I wouldn't have a job."
Chinella Webb is a 57-year-old MRI tech in Birmingham.
She dismissed the calls for Biden to step aside as "chatter" but added if Harris is tapped for the top of the ticket, she "is the perfect candidate to do whatever needs to be done."
"We are standing behind our president."
New York writer Ginger McKnight-Chavers told us, "It could be a cardboard cut out."
She didn't care, as long as the Democratic candidate could beat Trump.
