Biden has already had an advantage with Black voters in the primary elections, especially over his former opponent Bernie Sanders.

Biden swept the Black vote in states like South Carolina, while Sanders lost them by a large margin.

Biden is still liable to run into this same issue now that he’s going against Donald Trump in the general elections.

Although Black votes were generally low for Trump during the 2016 elections, Black voter turnout rates dipped for the first time in 20 years in a presidential election, according to the United States Census Bureau.

Black women came out in strong support for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 elections against Trump, according to exit polls.

(CMC): More than 383,000 voters in Suriname will go to the polls on Monday to elect a new government amid predictions that voter turnout could decline.
