8. Isn't that just math?

There are still 65% white people or so in the US population. It will still take a while until they are a minority and then the majority will be not white but also not all the same race.

A Democrat cannot have 0% minority support and win and if that is what Mayor Pete has, he's not going to be nominated by the Democratic party. Even if IA and NH give one "momentum" it would have to include the momentum bringing in the African American base of the Democratic Party.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
