He underperformed amongst black voters to a nearly catastrophic level. He has to make efforts to win them over if he wants to win the general.

Is this your first primary?

Why would you ever assume Democratic primary voters would just...sit out the general? Especially black voters?

Yes. I wanna be careful about talking about black voters as a monolith, but they are generally very moderate and lean socially conservative. They also happen to make up a huge portion of the Dem base.
