DANA BASH: Congresswoman Crockett, Karen (Finney) just talked about warning signs across the board, but particularly when it comes to people of color. The New York Times, and they're right about it, says: “in a remarkable sign in a gradual racial realignment between the two parties, the more diverse the swing state, the farther Mr. Biden was behind. And he led only in the whitest of six”.
U.S. REP. JASMINE CROCKETT (D-TX): Yeah, no, it's really scary for me. I'm glad that Karen, the expert, is not as scared, because: here’s the deal. Perception is reality. And so, when you look at the data that was provided in this poll, it talks about how people feel. And when people decide whether they’re going to the poll or whether they’re not going to the poll, it’s all about how you feel in that moment. And so, while the facts may not align with their feelings, their feelings are dictating the reality- the reality is that they said that they feel better, or they felt better, when Trump was in office. But we've been trying to push back. We've got some very popular African-American artists that are out here saying things like, “Oh, I got checks when Trump was in office. I want those checks again”, not understanding that that really came from Congress. So we’ve got a couple of things: the perception issue, and then we also have an issue as it relates to civics in this country and people not understanding exactly how any of this works.
