Biden scraps plan to ban menthol cigarettes after political pressure that it would turn off black voters ahead of the 2024 election

The White House is scrapping a long-awaited ban on menthol cigarettes to avoid angering black voters months before the 2024 election.

After dragging the process out for months, the administration is expected to announce the reversal on Friday, sources disclosed to the Wall Street Journal.

Experts previously told DailyMail.com that the ban would alienate black voters who have been drifting away from the president in polling and also surge crime nationwide.

A recent poll indicated that black Americans are not feeling very enthusiastic about Biden, and 40 percent don't plan to vote in the 2024 election.
