Former Vice President Joe Biden said Sunday he can win the presidency based on his support from African American voters but that he can not take the support "for granted."

The Democratic presidential candidate said he has "overwhelming support" from the African American community, adding that he attributes the same "overwhelming support" from black voters to past Democratic presidential wins dating back to President Carter.

"You can't win – you can't take it for granted. Last time we ran it was basically taken for granted," Biden said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"I'm the only one who has the record and has the background and has the support. They know me. They know who I am."

Biden's response comes as Democrats continue the primary process into the more diverse states of Nevada and South Carolina.

So basically, “We can’t take the black vote for granted. We do it every election. But THIS election, this time it’ll be different. Now give me your vote.”

And she ‘was in no way tired’.

One of the most race pointed comments in political history.

Their internal polling for black support must have them scared...

That’s the way I read it.

Candace Owens will have fun with that one.
