Black voters in rural Georgia told the New York Times they were disappointed by how the Democratic Party had failed to deliver on promises to improve their lives, saying things had only become harder with President Biden in office.
Dozens of these voters in their 20s and 30s spoke with the paper's Mara Gay about the daily struggles they face buying groceries, affording housing and paying back costly student loans in an area they say is sparse in high-paying jobs.
While many of these voters helped elect Biden in the 2020 election, "there are signs this coalition is on the brink of collapse," Gay wrote in her opinion piece. These voters feel "forgotten" and have a growing sense of "disdain" toward the Democratic Party.
