Van Jones has a warning for the Democratic party ahead of the elections.
The veteran CNN commentator talked about efforts to garner the Black vote during a Saturday appearance on S.E. Cupp’s “Unfiltered.” Jones predicted Black people will overwhelmingly vote against Donald Trump, but he entertained the possibility of the president being able to “shave off enough Black votes” to be elected.

Jones eventually made it plain for Democrats: work for the Black vote or they will lose the election.
“Do not take the Black vote for granted in this election,” Jones said. “And don’t pick somebody who’s not going to appeal to Black people because you’re really going to be hurting the cause.”
Jones also argued Black voters are becoming weary of the Democratic Party and its broken promises the Black community.
“If you’re an African-American voter, you understand, I get it, I’m supposed to stand in a five-hour-long line in the freezing cold in Michigan so the Democrats can win ― and then never speak to me again for four years,” Jones told Cupp. “And it’s gotten old and tired.”
