white, particularly on these kinds of issues. what do you think of that. i think the generational stuff ends up having more sailiance than the racial ones do. reporter: yeah, i mean absolutely. what joe biden said about james eastland and tal mj, who were segregationist democrats. not talking about bipartisanship. he wasn t talking about bipartisanship because they were also democrats. at the time right-wing conservative democrats. but what he said resonated so differently with older people we spoke with here, white or black. and when you think about it six in ten democratic prime voters were black. and older black voters view those through a different lens. i just had a guy come up and explain why he likes joe biden and probably in his early 40s, midsgifrts. he said this is the way it is.
