Biden relying on two voter groups to save flagging campaign: report

President Biden is relying on his allies in the black caucus and unions as his last line of defense amid his crumbling campaign, according to a new report from Politico.

Biden is facing growing calls to withdraw from the race from members of his own party, though lawmakers in the black caucus have so far remained staunchly in his camp. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., urged her fellow caucus members to support Biden during a call this week.

“The people Joe Biden fights for — middle-class labor union members, Blacks, Latinos — they know he fights for them and they’re going to stay in the fight for him,” Biden adviser Anita Dunn told the outlet.

Biden's loyalists say the Democratic base has no desire to see Biden leave the race, arguing that drama over his candidacy is limited to Washington.
