NASHUA, N.H. -- Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who’s made limited headway with African American voters despite drawing large crowds on the campaign trail, on Saturday pledged “a significant expansion” in outreach to minority communities.“We’re going to significantly increase that,” the Democratic presidential hopeful told reporters after a morning campaign stop here. “The views that we hold are important to all Americans … but to be honest with you, they’re probably more relevant to black and Hispanic voters … because the poverty rate in those communities is even higher than whites.”
Black voters are a crucial constituency in the Democratic nominating process, particularly after the contest moves beyond Iowa and New Hampshire to South Carolina and other states with larger African American populations, where Hillary Rodham Clinton is a well-established figure.I have nothing more to add except to say he is acknowledging the problem and doing something about it, and that's good.
