Many of these voters backed Biden in 2020 but say their support of the president is not guaranteed in November.

Mandatory Credit: David Yeazell-USA TODAY SportsNov 17 (Reuters) - Former U.S. Open champion Jon Rahm said he hopes compatriot Sergio Garcia's legacy will not be tarnished by his decision to join the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series. When asked if Garcia's switch to the Saudi-backed series could affect the former Masters champion's legacy, Rahm told reporters, "I hope not". He's done a lot for the game of golf, so it would be sad to see that change." Rahm also heaped praise on world number one Rory McIlroy, who has been one of LIV Golf's fiercest critics. Critics say LIV Golf, which is bankrolled by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, amounts to "sportswashing" by a nation trying to improve its reputation in the face of criticism over its human rights record.
