Van Jones: Black Voters Don't Like To See Billions Of Dollars Going To Ukraine, But Nothing For Them

Former Obama advisor Van Jones talked about what President Biden's team can do to keep black voters politically engaged, Thursday morning on CNN:

VAN JONES: I think for African-American voters, in particular, there is a special heartbreak because, first of all, the pain is more intense. The rising gas prices, food prices, it has really walloped the black community in a particular way. 

But the hopes were so much higher. And so you have a community that came out in huge numbers in 2018, huge numbers in 2020, and expecting things to get a lot better, and instead economically at least it didn't come true, it got worse. And so you're going through a summer of real heartbreak with black voters, polls show that. And Biden has to take it seriously.
