Ice Miller partner Jarrod Loadholt was quoted in The Root article, "Experts: Why Black Voters Should Restore Their Faith in President Biden."

According to legal expert and former electoral campaign advisor Jarrod Loadholt, Black folks are still in Biden’s corner—it’s just a matter of numbers.

“The majority of Black voters will vote for Joe Biden in November,’’ said Loadholt, who is a legal partner at Ice Miller LLP. “The question is: How many?”

Aside from the numbers, Loadholt said we have to unpack who the Black vote really is. “We’ve got to have a really focused conversation about what Black people have gotten from this administration with that infrequent Black voters set in the swing states that we know will determine this election: Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada.”

Loadholt says many people, Black people included, are on the bubble about voting, with a couch seeming like the better option.

To Loadholt’s point, Biden has ramped up his Black voter outreach over the last several months, including giving commencement speeches at HBCUs, the launch of Jill Biden’s “Women for Biden-Harris” highlighting Black women-owned businesses and White House listening sessions in Black communities in almost a dozen states.
