Van Jones, a CNN commentator and former Obama official, argued in an appearance Tuesday that the jobs available to the black community are “shit” no matter what economists and political strategists say to the contrary.
Responding to recent reports that consumer confidence is at its highest level since 2021, Jones said, “The facts and feelings are very different.” I'm giving it to you, and I'm actually doing it.'' Aren't you happy? ' I agree, but it's a crappy job. ”
President Biden has stepped up efforts to win over Black voters, with a November poll showing 57% of Black voters disapproved of his economic policies. Additionally, 56% of black voters said they disapproved of Biden's efforts to curb inflation.
The media spent 2023 trying to convince economically strapped Americans that the economy was “booming” under the Biden administration.

In general, Biden's support among the Black community has declined significantly in recent years. His approval ratings have fallen 25% since 2021, according to a Fox News poll. At one point, his approval rating reached 87%, but by 2023 that number had dropped to 62%.
Jones argued that Biden has a much stronger reputation among his base on the issue of abortion.
“People have heard the horror stories of women who have had their lives at risk, who are unable to conceive, who have to go before a judge, who have to tell everything about themselves, who have to travel out of state. is really, really pissed off. “There's no money.'' These horror stories are going to drive up numbers that people may not realize, Jones said.
The former Obama official added that Biden could “outperform” his poll numbers because of Democratic anger over abortion.
“That's part of why Democrats think Biden's numbers could be better than theirs. His numbers are terrible, but these stories are terrible.” “And people aren't going to come save Biden, they're not going to come save Harris, they're going to save a lot of American women who are in danger. That's what I think.”

But Jones also said Democratic voters are increasingly feeling a backlash against illegal immigration as the crisis gains media attention in New York City and other blue strongholds.
Regarding the debate over illegal immigration, Jones said, “We're also hurting our relationship with the Democratic base because of certain tactics and stunts of sending a lot of immigrants into blue states.” “It destabilizes some of our party politics.”
“The mayor of New York is saying, 'Look, I can't stand all of this,' and this is the kind of point that red state governors have been making for a while,” he said.
