Bloomberg News has a new “scoop” up quoting anonymous Biden advisers who are deeply worried about the campaign GOTV effort aimed at Black and Hispanic voters:

SCOOP: For months, senior Biden advisers focused on Hispanic and Black voters have raised concerns to leadership about insufficient investment. They say they have been ignored. Now, they are increasingly worried with just four days left. https://t.co/ndlb7QTpmH

The advisers don’t think the campaign has invested enough and are “urging the campaign” to “spend even more money to target these critical voters in the final stretch”:

Biden advisers have expressed concerns about a lack of investment in GOTV and are urging the campaign, so far unsuccessfully, to spend even more money to target these critical voters in the final stretch, especially given the campaign’s record-shattering fundraising.

With all the money the Biden campaign has on hand, why haven’t they done this?

Disagreements over how to allocate resources in the closing days are a common occurrence in a presidential campaign, but what has made these disputes, which have not been previously reported, more serious is that the split has broken along racial lines. https://t.co/ndlb7QTpmH
