MIAMI — President Joe Biden's campaign defended his standing among black and Latino voters after multiple polls indicate he is losing support with key demographics behind his 2020 election win.

Principal deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks pointed to this week's off-year elections as evidence Democrats are "energized," particularly around the issue of abortion, and Biden's coalition "will reassemble next November with real investments and resources."

"But, looking forward, we can't take anything for granted," Fulks told reporters Tuesday. "This is a very different environment to reach that coalition, a very fragmented environment, which is why the investments that we're making, it's not something that campaigns across the country on the Republican side, are just going to be able to skip and hop into next year and do this as efficiently."

"This is going to be a close election," he said. "We continue to put in that work, that work includes the largest paid media campaign focused on black and brown communities, communities that were traditionally left behind — AAPI, Hispanic, Latino, black — and we are not just treating those voters as GOTV ones, we're meeting them at the forefront, having sustained, persuasive conversation on the platforms that we know... can reach them the most."

Although Fulks underscored the importance of drawing contrasts between Biden and Republicans, the campaign also emphasized its modern organizing and communications strategies, which sometimes bypass traditional news media, to make a positive case for the president.

"We feel that we're in a strong position next year to scale up peer-to-peer conversation," he said. "We have to make politics more relatable, we have to get more people involved in communicating with folks that they can relate to, and the key messengers for our campaign will be people like the president and Vice President [Kamala] Harris."

While the campaign deflected questions regarding its internal polling, which the New York Times reported this week reflected public numbers, deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty repeated that Biden's message was testing well with focus groups.

"We're doing tons of media consumption research, recall research, impact research on the creative that we're running, and that's the research that we feel like we need to be doing to talk to voters right now," he said. "We're getting a lot of good data that's showing that the sort of various mixes of strategies that we're implementing are working and are effective."

When pressed on separate polling that suggests Biden's support is eroding among Palestinian Americans, Arab Americans, and Muslim Americans, a critical constituency in the battleground state of Michigan, amid Israel's war against Hamas, Fulks asserted the president's approach should be compared to Republicans, many of whom would reintroduce a Muslim travel ban.

"We're trying to not politicize it," he said. "We are focused on making sure that leaders on both sides of this issue, voters on both sides of this issue hear where we're coming from."
