Biden risks alienating young Black voters after race remarks
Read full article: Biden risks alienating young Black voters after race remarksWASHINGTON Joe Biden's controversial remarks about race this week risk alienating young Black voters who despise President Donald Trump but are not inspired by his Democratic rival.
