Democrats Freak Out as Trump Continues to Gain Ground with Black Voters
President Donald Trump is single-handedly causing a mass awakening among black voters as they finally realize the Democrats have brought them nothing but poverty, crime, pain, and death for decades.
The former president has significantly cut into the black voting block for Democrats, according to the latest New York Times polling.
As the outlet noted, Trump continues to make inroads with black voters every cycle.
He now has at least 15% of the black vote – which is unprecedented for a Republican candidate.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is only gaining 78% of the black vote.
This means Trump is likely doing better than the 15% reported.
Other media networks, such as CNN, are also observing the shift among black voters.
As reported earlier this week, CNN’s Senior Data Reporter, Harry Enten, noted the seismic shift in Black voters’ support for Trump.
Enten’s data shows Trump is the strongest Republican among Black voters since 1960.
Harry Enten: Sometimes there’s a trend line that I never noticed before and make me go, whoa. This is one of them.
This is the democratic margin among black men under the age of 45 in presidential elections. You go back to November of 2012, what do you see? You see Obama by 81. Clinton only won them by 63. Then we’re all the way down to Biden last time around by 53. A tremendous drop already.
Then you take a look at the average of the most recent polls, and Kamala Harris is up by only 41 That is about half the margin that Obama won them by back in November of 2012. This, I think, is when Barack Obama goes in last week when he was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, essentially talking to young black men, he made it seem like it was a Kamala Harris-specific problem. Uh-uh. This is part of a long-standing trend of young black men moving away from the Democratic Party. Kamala Harris is just the latest to face that magnitude of younger black men going towards the Republicans.
Watch
Even Barack Obama admitted that Black voters are not excited about Kamala Harris, forcing him to call on “brothers” to vote for her.
Obama went on to highlight Harris’s background, claiming she shares the experiences of many in the Black community.
He then said former President Donald Trump has shown “disregard, not just for the communities, but for you as a person.”
Obama asked hesitant voters, “And you are thinking about sitting out?”
