Evidence (2020-06-30): Youth Prefer Biden to Trump, But Questions about Biden’s Youth Appeal Remain While young people are not monolithically liberal voters, their strong preference for Democratic candidates in recent elections and their disapproval of President Trump have been well-documented. Our youth poll bears this out: 58% of young people say they would vote for former Vice President Joe Biden if the election were held today, compared to just 24% for President Trump. By comparison, in our 2016 pre-election poll, 46% of youth were supporting former Secretary Clinton, 24% President Trump, and 30% other candidates—including the Libertarian and Green Party nominees, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein. [...] Our poll also reveals that Biden has work to do to shore up youth support. While young people may prefer him to Donald Trump, only 28% approve or strongly approve of him, compared to 40% who disapprove or strongly disapprove, with a third of youth in the middle. Among youth who preferred or would have supported Bernie Sanders in the primary, 66% say they will vote for Biden, but 30% want to support another candidate—most commonly, Sanders himself. Overall, 18% of youth say that, if the election were held today, they would vote for neither Biden nor Trump. Whether either candidate can persuade this sizable bloc of young voters could have a decisive impact on the election.

Evidence (2024-07-25): U.S. President Joe Biden on July 24 delivered a solemn call to voters to defend the country’s democracy as he laid out in an Oval Office address his decision to drop his 2024 presidential campaign and throw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. [...] "I have decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation," Mr. Biden said, saying he wanted to make room for "fresh voices, yes, younger voices." He added, "That is the best way to unite our nation." It was a belated fulfillment of his 2020 pledge to be a bridge to a new generation of leaders — and a bow to the drumbeat of calls from within his party to step aside. [...] "I’ve given my heart and my soul to our nation," he said. "I’ve been blessed a million times in return." Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday that any question of Mr. Biden resigning his office before the election — which would allow Harris to run as an incumbent — was "ridiculous." Jean-Pierre said Mr. Biden has "no regrets" about his decision to stay in the race as long as he did, or his decision to quit it over the weekend. She said Mr. Biden’s decision had nothing to do with his health.

READ MORE: Supreme Court blocks Biden immigration policy on deportation The timing had been in doubt since the Supreme Court ruled on June 30 that the Biden administration could end the "Remain in Mexico" policy. Homeland Security officials had been largely silent, saying they had to wait for the court to certify the ruling and for a Trump-appointed judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo, Texas, to then lift his injunction. The Supreme Court certified its ruling last week. The program will be unwound in a "quick, and orderly manner," Homeland Security said in a statement.

Evidence (2024-06-30): WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is expected to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with family at Camp David, Maryland, on Sunday, following a nationally televised debate Thursday that left many fellow Democrats worried about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump in November, according to five people familiar with the matter. [...] Anita Dunn, one of Biden’s handful of closest advisers, said Saturday on MSNBC’s "The Weekend" that Biden has not discussed dropping out of the race with aides and that internal talks have focused on moving forward. [...] Party elites will urge him to exit the race only if they determine that he is "not viable and negatively impacting the House and Senate races," said one big-time donor who is close to both Obama and Biden.
Claim: Says as of June 30, “the decision has been made that (President Joe Biden) will quit the campaign.” (Bill O'Reilly, 2024-06-30)
Evidence (2024-07-11): President Biden, in a roughly one-hour long press conference, doubled down on his decision to stay in the race, despite growing calls and doubts from leaders and supporters that he should step down from the ticket, and won’t be able to beat former president Donald Trump in November. [...] Since then, Biden and his team have worked to prove he does have the stamina and mental acuity to run this race, adding campaign stops in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and later this week in Michigan. He did a television interview that aired in full on ABC News and has another one scheduled on Monday with NBC, and he called in to MSNBC’s Morning Joe this week, too. And Biden has turned defiant, telling his party that he’s staying in the race and it was time to stop talking about whether he should quit. He has received wholehearted support from some important figures in the party — but others have since come out and said they think he will lose to Trump. [...] Despite Biden’s insistence for days that he will stay in the race, some Democrats, including Vermont Sen. Peter Welch, have still called on the president to step aside — and are pointing to Harris as the better option for the party.

Evidence (2024-09-18): The vice-president, who launched her presidential campaign earlier this week after President Joe Biden announced his decision to exit the race, is traveling to Indianapolis for a previously scheduled event and will be unable to preside over the prime minister's congressional address. [...] While President Biden's decision to abandon the race is unusual, it is not unprecedented. Fifty-six years ago, President Lyndon B Johnson announced he was giving up his bid for re-election on 31 March 31 1968. [...] Speaking to campaign staffers via phone, Biden said leaving the race was the "right thing to do".
Claim: Says as of June 30, “the decision has been made that (President Joe Biden) will quit the campaign.” (Bill O'Reilly, 2024-06-30)
Evidence (2024-06-30): The conclusion seemed clear enough: Biden has to drop out. If this column had been written right after the debate, I certainly would have joined in on that chorus. (I am on vacation this week.) But, a few days after the President’s disaster, it seems just as clear to me that the Democrats don’t have any other option than to hurtle toward November with him as the nominee. [...] These are all extremely compelling reasons to ask Biden to step aside or to start an insurgency leading up to the convention in August. But if the point of this election is to defeat Trump—and I imagine for many Democrats it is—then you have to do some dirty calculations and realize that you don’t have a Plan B because all the backups aren’t ready yet, and because introducing one of them in the middle of the game is a risky gamble, at best. There are countless problems that would come with the process of choosing a new candidate—if you bypass Kamala Harris, for example, does she just go quietly? And how do you sell the optics of nullifying the logical norms of succession for the first Black person and first woman to ever serve as Vice-President? If you’re a supporter of Gavin Newsom, are you even sure he will agree to take on a potential losing and chaotic run at an office he could much more credibly run for in 2028?

Evidence (2024-07-01): "It’s a familiar story: following Thursday night’s debate, the beltway class is counting Joe Biden out," Jen O’Malley Dillon, chair of the Biden campaign, said in a memo. "The data in the battleground states, though, tells a different story." [...] While some Democratic lawmakers have privately expressed concerns and hope Biden will drop out of the race during the convention, they have largely remained steadfast in public support for Biden’s campaign. [...] The path forward for Democrats is riddled with uncertainty. None of Biden’s possible replacements have proven to have more support than the president himself, and the threat of a Trump presidency and its impact on key issues of domestic and foreign policy leaves little room for error.

Evidence (2024-07-21): President Joe Biden bows out of reelection campaign, Harris vows to win nomination [...] WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race Sunday, he said in a letter posted to social media, creating an unprecedented vacancy atop the Democratic ticket one month before he was scheduled to officially accept his party’s nomination. [...] Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement that he understood Biden’s decision to step out of the race was "not easy, but he once again put his country, his party, and our future first."
Claim: “It wasn’t all women that lost jobs (in the December jobs report), it was mostly Black and Latina women. In fact, white women gained employment.” (Sarah Godlewski, 2021-01-09)
Evidence (2021-01-09): There was a net loss in jobs from November to December. Bureau of Labor Statistics data indicate that while women overall lost jobs, men overall gained jobs nationally. A separate Bureau of Labor Statistics survey indicates the number of employed white women increased, while the number of employed Hispanic or Latina women and Black women decreased.

Claim: “It wasn’t all women that lost jobs (in the December jobs report), it was mostly Black and Latina women. In fact, white women gained employment.” (Sarah Godlewski, 2021-01-09)
Evidence (2021-01-11): December’s jobs report just came in — and it’s brutal for women. A disappointing jobs report, just released by the same department, found that 140,000 jobs were cut in December. Every single one of those jobs were held by women. [...] That disparity — fueled by existing wage inequality, inequality in the home, and continued child care and school shutdowns due to COVID-19 which is wrecking the United States as more people get sick and more people die — was worsened in December, with the 140,000 job losses by women. But the real facts are even worse than what the statistics say. Digging a little deeper, it’s actually clear that women lost more work than 140,000 jobs — 156,000 job losses were actually recorded in December — but that 16,000 jobs were gained by men. [...] There are a number of reasons women most disproportionately lost their jobs, and in particular, women of color. First, the aforementioned wage gap makes it all but certain that if a woman works in a two-income household with a man, her husband or partner makes more than her — and in a situation where there’s a prolonged lack of child care or schooling, the person who makes less is more likely to quit their jobs and take on full-time caregiving. It’s a rational, economic choice, one that is beset by decades of income inequality — and one that will set back income inequality even further.

Evidence (2022-01-07): These are dark, cold days, but every week brings more sunlight – and there’s even more cause for optimism in the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest jobs report. We added 6.4 million new jobs in 2021 and the unemployment rate has dropped to 3.9%. Here are five more numbers to pay attention to from the December jobs report. [...] 2x+ Black unemployment rate If you’ve read any of my blogs, you know I care about demographics. The true measure of economic success is how the economy is doing for those usually left behind. Currently, the Black unemployment rate is more than double the white unemployment rate, and Black women were the only demographic group who saw unemployment rise in December. I’ll never get tired of saying it: An economic recovery is not complete unless everyone recovers, so there’s still work to do.

Evidence (2022-01-07): Earlier in the week, the ADP Employment Report counted more than 800,000 private sector jobs for December — boosting hopes for a strong finish to the year. That release is considered a bellwether for the official jobs report, though the two are not correlated. [...] The unemployment rate for White, Asian and Hispanic workers dropped in December, while joblessness increased for Black workers. [...] Winners and losers in December
Claim: “It wasn’t all women that lost jobs (in the December jobs report), it was mostly Black and Latina women. In fact, white women gained employment.” (Sarah Godlewski, 2021-01-09)
Evidence (2021-11-09): Over the course of the first 10 months of the pandemic, women—particularly women of color—have lost more jobs than men as industries dominated by women have been hit the hardest.4 Overall, women have lost a net of 5.4 million jobs during the recession5—nearly 1 million more job losses than men.6 The job losses in December are a stark illustration of these trends: Black, Hispanic, and Asian women accounted for all of women’s job losses that month, and 154,000 Black women dropped out of the labor force entirely.7 This push of job losses, combined with the pull of increased caregiving at home,8 has created a recession in which more women have been affected, leading Dr. C. Nicole Mason to dub it the first ever "she-cession."9 Congress and the federal government’s failure to act immediately has only further jeopardized families’ fragile economic security and has the potential to create lasting harm for women’s careers and the U.S. economy as a whole. [...] Black women have also seen high unemployment rates and signs of a stagnant recovery. They are concentrated in industries with significant job losses, such as the education and health services industry, where 42 percent of Black women were employed in 2019, and in government.53 The unemployment rate for Black women peaked at 16.6 percent in May 2020, the second-highest rate that month after Hispanic women.54 In December, Black women’s unemployment rate was 8.4 percent—still 1.7 times higher than before the pandemic.55 However, 154,000 Black women left the labor force in December, a concerning sign of a lack of employment opportunities and overwhelming caregiving demands.56

Evidence (2023-02-12): The rebound among college-educated women is in stark contrast to many other segments of the labor force that are still missing, including older workers, people with less education, and men. [...] Even so, experts warned that recent gains obscure ongoing challenges for Black women and Latinas, as well as women with lower levels of education and income. Although a number of pandemic-era policies offered temporary fixes, such as paid sick leave and more affordable child care, little has been done to address systemic hurdles in the long term, according to Julie Vogtman, director of job quality at the National Women’s Law Center. [...] Alyssa Fowers contributed to this report.

Evidence (2022-02-08): But not so fast, some economic experts say. According to a National Women’s Law Center analysis, the report is far less rosy when gains are separated out by gender. [...] The employment gaps were even worse among Black women and Latinas, according to NWLC’s report. While the overall unemployment rate for women 20 and older hovered at 3.6 percent in January, nearly 5.8 percent of Black women were unemployed, as were 4.9 percent of Latinas. The NWLC added that if the jobs report included those had left the labor force — people who are no longer seeking work — those rates would have been even higher: 5 percent for all women, 7.3 percent for Black women and 5.4 percent for Latinas. [...] Dixon will also be paying attention to wage growth, which she noted has been eroded by inflation. But, she added, if wages increase across the country, especially in low-wage positions, a $15 minimum wage could become a reality in more places. This would disproportionately impact women workers, particularly Black women and Latinas, she said.

Evidence (2023-07-05): Women are returning to the job market in droves, just when the U.S. needs them most [...] That's a big turnaround from the early days of the pandemic, when millions of women lost jobs as restaurants and other in-person businesses were shuttered, and many more dropped out of the job market to look after children or ailing family members. [...] That could change if the job market softens and bosses become less willing to make allowances. But so long as the economy keeps adding jobs, employers will be on the lookout for more working women to help fill them.

Evidence (2021-02-14): More than 2 million women left the labor force in 2020. Women are now at the lowest workforce participation level since 1988. Job losses in female-dominated industries like hospitality have forced many women out of work, and others, faced with the difficulty of balancing child care with paid work, have quit. And it has now become clear that Black and Latina women have been especially hard-hit. They now face far higher unemployment rates than white women. [...] MARTIN: And Black and Latina women have been disproportionately affected in a negative way. And, Margaret Brower, I'm going to ask you, why is that? BROWER: I would say that the biggest reason is because they are concentrated in the industries of hospitality and services. But it's not just that these industries are laying off Black and Latina women. There haven't been important safety nets in these industries for workers, and so when Black and Latino women are concentrated in them, they don't have access to things like paid sick time or health insurance or flexible work schedules. So it's not just that they're getting laid off. It's also because COVID presents a set of difficulties that these jobs don't provide a good safeguard against.

Evidence (2021-01-08): Meanwhile, a separate survey of households, which includes self-employed workers, showed an even wider gender disparity. It also highlighted another painful reality: Blacks and Latinas lost jobs in December, while White women made significant gains. [...] Economists often warn against reading too much into a single month, but December’s job losses capped off an already awful year for working women — particularly women of color. [...] Among women, Latinas currently have the highest unemployment rate at 9.1%, followed by Black women at 8.4%. White women have the lowest unemployment rate at 5.7%.

Evidence (2021-01-09): - The disparities grow even wider when considering race, with Black and Latina women working in retail and education sectors being hit the hardest. [...] "The most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) monthly jobs report shows that the economy lost 140,000 net jobs in December, marking the first month of job loss since the economy started adding back jobs in May 2020," said the National Women's Law Center, a nonprofit focused on achieving gender justice in courts and public policy. "All of the jobs lost were women's jobs, with women losing 156,000 jobs and men gaining 16,000." [...] About 1 in 12 Black women and 1 in 11 Latina women remain unemployed, the NWLC analysis says. Those figures represent about 8.4% and 9.1% unemployment rates.

Evidence (2024-01-05): Slowly but surely, Americans have grown more optimistic about the economy. [...] The United States added 216,000 jobs in December, well surpassing economists’ expectations for a net gain of 160,000 jobs and capping off another banner year of employment growth. US employers added 2.7 million jobs last year. While that’s well below the totals of the record-setting 2022 (7.3 million) and 2021 (4.8 million), it’s still the 25th highest on record going back to 1939, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows. [...] The December jobs report "brings to a close an extraordinary year in job creation which saw an increase of 2.7 million in total employment and a record 167,451 million Americans employed," Joe Brusuelas, RSM US principal and chief economist, wrote in a note on Friday.
