On Wednesday, 45th President Donald Trump explained in a Truth Social post that the black community would lose its political power "forever" if Vice President Kamala Harris was given four years in the White House. The message comes as Democrats are hemorrhaging male black voters and trying desperately to hang on to the critical demographic.
"Kamala's support is collapsing with Black voters. Inflation is hell. Worse, their cities are being used as illegal alien dumping grounds," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "If Kamala gets 4 more years, the Black Community loses its political power forever because their neighborhoods will all be majority migrant." Black men have been flocking to Trump in historic numbers, a fact that CNN's Senior Data Reporter Harry Enten explained on Monday. "No matter how you splice the data, Trump seems to be the strongest Republican with Black voters since 1960. Young Black men, in particular, have trended right during Trump's runs (cutting the Dem margin by 40 pts from 2012)," he explained. "But Trump's doing historically well with Black women too."
As the Harris campaign attempted to claw back support from black men, the Democratic presidential campaign unveiled a series of proposals that included various handouts. The proposals include,
- "Provide 1 million loans that are fully forgivable up to $20k for Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business.
- Support education training and mentorship programs that lead to good-paying jobs for Black men, including pathways to become teachers.
- Protect cryptocurrency investments so Black men who make them know their money is safe.
- Launch a national health initiative focused on the illnesses that disproportionately impact Black men.
- Legalize recreational marijuana and create opportunities for Black Americans to succeed in this new industry."
After receiving considerable pushback from political commentators, legal experts, and the Trump campaign for the desperate move, the Harris campaign admitted that the proposals would be "open to all Americans on a race-neutral basis." The vulnerability from the most consistently Democratic-leaning constituencies in the country has put Democrats on the defensive, so much so that former President Barack Obama chastised black men for abandoning Harris. The 44th president explained at a campaign field office in Pittsburgh last week that "all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities" weren't enthusiastic enough for the Harris-Walz ticket. He stated that the problem "seems to be more pronounced with the brothers," who come "up with all kinds of reasons and excuses."
"You just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president," Obama added.
