Soon he will accept his partys nomination for president in his home town of wilmington, delaware. Biden has been a major figure in the Democratic Party for nearly 50 years.

An overall sense not hugely enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton joe biden is seen by many black americans as an extension of the bruck obama era he was broke obamas Vice President many people certainly not all that many black men say if he was good enough for rock obama is good enough for me lets not forget its black voters in South Carolina that really turned things around for biden in the primaries after he had been bashed in iowa and New Hampshire which are predominately white states so these are the kinds of groups and then theres all this talk about young people every election we talk about young people young people going to vote theyre going to change everything young people traditionally dont vote so as much as all this uproar that theyre not getting enough attention from democrats its not being given enough of the stage at this convention its a bit of put up or shut up a bit of put your money where your mouth is young people who want to give you more attention you need to prove
