The top aide, Vanessa Cárdenas, was in charge of outreach to Latino and African-American organizations. The social bio of the former Biden National Coalitions Director now reads “formerly with @joebiden.”
Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2019/11/25/biden-senior-latina-adviser-quits-073553) was first to report on Cárdenas’s departure.
Two sources close to the former aide told the news outlet that her exit was prompted by the campaign’s lack of focus on Latino issues.
“The campaign is just hyper-focused on whites in Iowa and African-Americans and it placed less value on Latino outreach,” one immigration activist said.
“Vanessa kept banging her head against the wall trying to get them to take the community more seriously,” another revealed. “And Biden just really won’t change when it comes to the way he talks about immigration. It became too much.”
The development comes as Biden faces discontent from Latino groups for his refusal to commit to a moratorium on deportations — something his 2020 rivals, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT), have pledged to do.
On Thursday, Biden was confronted by a protester in South Carolina, who pressed the former vice president to end all deportations if elected president.`
