A majority of core Biden voters oppose the administration’s proposed ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars, according to new polling by Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher commissioned by Altria tobacco.

Fifty-four percent of “core” Biden voters — defined as minority voters or non-conservative white voters under age 45 — oppose the proposed ban, according to the poll, which was obtained exclusively by National Review.
