Music legend Stevie Wonder would like a word with President Joe Biden.  On Monday, during the daily White House press briefing, veteran Beltway scribe April Ryan informed White House flak Karine Jean Pierre that the 25-time Grammy winner seeks an audience with the commander in chief.  Wonder, who has counseled previous occupants of the Oval Office, from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama, has deep concerns about “the black agenda falling along the wayside.”  Acting as his unofficial emissary, Ryan warns that the civil rights superstar is “very worried” that the Black vote, especially among Black men, is far from signed, sealed, and delivered for 2024.

A new survey from the Democratic public opinion firm Blueprint 2024 confirms Wonder’s worry.  Black voters “have priorities and issue awareness much closer to swing voters.”  While diversity, equity, and inclusion obsesses the party’s social justice activists, “Black voters are more likely to consider the president ‘too liberal’ than ‘too conservative.’”  Like working and middle class Americans everywhere, “the vast majority [of Black voters] want the president to bring down prices and raise wages.”  In other words, “It’s the economy stupid.”

The Biden team claims it’s not worried about a thing; party panic is nothing more than superstition.  But with the election clock ticking and the start of the primary season less than two months away, Biden is running out of time to work it out.
