A Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll released this week found 47% of Black voters said Biden should continue his campaign, compared to 49% who said he should cede the nomination to someone else. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that among Biden supporters, 58% of Black supporters said both Biden and Trump ought to be replaced, compared with 84% of Asian supporters, 74% of White supporters and 67% of Hispanic supporters.

Within less than a week, my forehead was completely smooth, and I got more compliments on how amazing my skin looked. My forehead would stay smooth shortly after I'd remove them, but revert back a little later in the day. I also had to be consistent: it took about a week of wearing them every night for my forehead to smooth out. Face-taping gives me more of a natural lookWhile Botox had stronger effects than face-taping, I didn't necessarily love it. I never had anything against forehead lines or visible signs of aging.
