CNN’s Van Jones: ‘Day-To-Day Reality’ Has ‘Gotten Worse’ For Black Americans Under Biden

CNN’s Van Jones said Friday that life for black Americans had not gotten better under President Joe Biden’s administration. In fact, he said that things had gotten worse since Biden took office last year.

Jones joined anchor John Berman on “New Day,” and he argued that the “disappointment factor” was taking its toll as inflation and other issues were souring black voters on Biden heading into the midterm elections.

“Day-to-day reality for Black folks hasn’t improved,” Jones said, adding, “In fact, because of inflation and other things, it’s gotten worse — and so you’re starting to see that disappointment factor set in.”

“Do you think it will change the voting patterns?” Berman asked.

“I think that it may well,” Jones continued. “Also, don’t forget, you have had a concerted effort on the part of conservatives to recast the Republican Party and the party of the multi-racial working class.”
