Joe Biden and Kamala Harris think support from LGBT voters will win them over in November. While it is true that the majority of LGBT voters support the Democrats, they are still a minority in the United States.
The fact that the Biden Harris campaign is talking about this speaks volumes. They do this because they are losing support from other parts of their coalition. Black voters, Latino voters and young voters are all turning away from them.
This is a way for Democrats to brag about a part of their base that still seems stable.

Biden, Harris announce new campaign for LGBTQ support, calling members ‘a force to be reckoned with’
President Biden and Vice President Harris’ reelection campaign announced a new push to win over a group of voters it believes is “a force to be reckoned with.” The initiative comes just seven months before the president’s rematch with the presumptive Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump.
As Biden seeks to win another term in the White House despite historic low approval ratings, Team Biden-Harris announced the launch of “Out for Biden-Harris.” The campaign describes the program as a national effort to mobilize LGBTQ+ voters and community members across the country.
In a statement, Biden-Harris 2024 campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said, “LGBTQ+ voters are a force to be reckoned with.”
“They were key to our victory in 2020 and will be key to winning again this November,” added Chavez Rodriguez. “That’s why we’re excited to launch Out for Biden-Harris, which will harness the organizing prowess of the LGBTQ+ community to re-elect President Biden and Vice President Harris this November.”
Like everything Biden does, this could backfire.
Watch Democrats play another round of “intersectional Olympics” with the most dysfunctional administrator in recent history? No thank you. “No administration has done more” to damage the public image of LGBT people than the clowns running the Biden-Harris administration. #LGBTrump https://t.co/h1S8gyatmA

Even with this push, Biden and Harris won’t get all the votes in the LGBT community. There are many LGBT people who support Trump.
