We already know that Joe loves exploiting identity politics, just look at the old bar video of him talking about Obama before he ran in 2008.

“Her stance on crime played well with swing voters in the Rust Belt.”
“Women came out in numbers that are 27% greater than 2016.”
“She locked down the wayward black vote as expected.”
