As the 2020 election nears, @NBCBLK dives into different facets of the Black vote and breaks down the multitude of motivations driving Black Americans to the polls. (1/7) #NBCNewsThreads
@NBCBLK Black voters are expected to vote for Joe Biden over Pres. Trump by about an 80-point margin, polling estimates indicate. But political analysts say Black voters over age 65 in particular are expected to play a pivotal role in deciding Biden's fate. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/wh… (2/7)
@NBCBLK Biden also holds a dominant lead in the Black LGBTQ community, polls show.

In fact, Trump may have lost in 2016 if votes in battleground states from the Black and LGBTQ communities had come in at higher rates — and if more were registered to vote. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/sm… (3/7)
@NBCBLK Many Black essential workers say the coronavirus pandemic and social justice demonstrations in the wake of the death of George Floyd will play strongly in their decisions on how they will vote in the presidential election. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/we… (4/7)
@NBCBLK Black officers who spoke with @NBCNews say this year’s vote is a personal referendum on their career and they’ll have to consider the ways citizens interact with police right now, as well as calls to overhaul policing and address racism more broadly. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/so… (5/7)
@NBCBLK @NBCNews There have always been Black conservatives and Republicans. In the Trump era, being one is a balancing act.

"We say that Blacks aren't monolithic, but then we want 100% of Blacks to vote for, you know, that's just not how any of this works." nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/pu… (6/7)
@NBCBLK @NBCNews It may be common to think of first-time voters as young, but that isn't entirely accurate.

Aside from Gen Z, a number of older Black voters plan to head to the polls for the first time this year — and their motivations are wide-ranging. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/bl… (7/7)
