so maybe they like his sidekick Biden for similar reasons.

I'm a minority mid 30s male but this is a common reason why lots of people are ridin with Biden:

“And I really just want a president who won’t keep me up at night, thinking about what he’s going to do next, thinking about who he’s going to appoint to the Supreme Court. The most important thing to me in this election is just ensuring that Donald Trump is no longer our president.”

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