Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign hosted a slew of events targeting Black men in Wisconsin this past week, part of an effort to drive turnout and prevent defections among a key voting bloc.
On Friday, former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes led a rally at a major Black church in Milwaukee, before the campaign launched a canvas, gave out free haircuts at barbershops and hosted a happy hour for young professionals, wrapping everything up with a gospel brunch on Sunday.
The events illustrate how Democrats are increasingly targeting Black men, aiming both to counteract former President Donald Trump’s efforts to woo them with machismo and social conservatism, and to try to ensure that apathy brought on by years of inflation and low approval for President Joe Biden won’t result in low turnout.
The efforts are not limited to Wisconsin. In Michigan, a key state in the 2024 election, the Harris-Walz campaign has held more than 15 events since she announced her bid for president. The events have included barbershop visits and brunch events in cities like Detroit and Flint.
The campaign has hosted 10 organizing events in Black barbershops across Georgia, where Trump drew 11% of the Black vote in 2020. It also held events in Virginia and Pennsylvania, including a debate day event at a barbershop with local elected officials.

That’s using her head.
Does she host her events at barbershops because only 8 people show up, and she wants to fill the venue?
But she’s married to a Hebrew Ofay . .
. .
More pandering from the rat party.
Giving?
Odd that 8 weeks ago NOBODY would cozy up to her. Now....🚽
😁
FWIW I think Trump going after Taylor Swift may actually help him with black voters.
Vote for the fake, nasally, cackling bitty. Come on, you know you want to, or you aint black!
And neither is she black! I guess one could say she straddles the fence of racial definition.
She needs to speak ebonics to black men. Then tell them they ain’t black if they don’t vote for her. Blacks love being talked down to by democrats.
Here’s hoping.
FYI black vote in Wisconsin is only 7%. That’s not the place to look at bang for the buck.
OTOH black vote is 31% in Georgia. That IS the place to get bang for the buck.
Black turnout is not weak. From ChatGPT Georgia 2020 90% of registered black voters voted. Michigan 80%. Wisconsin 65%.
That is pretty good news. There is no room to grow turnout. The effort has to be in maintaining it, but Trump’s inroads are clear among the males and that is powerful stuff. If you already are driving 80% turnout, and some of those votes depart, you have to have a huge turnout % increase to offset that.
Bottom line, Lara Trump, get your people to the nursing homes collecting ballots.
Wow, they are desperate.
lol
You’re right! As black peoples voting record indicates.
Can’t believe anyone could fall for this Communists vison of America. We are done if she wins. Tighten your belts and keep your powder dry.
“Kamala Harris’ Campaign Works To Reach Black Men With Voter Engagement Events”
So a Lewinski now is called a “voter engagement event”. Cute.
A friend just worked a town festival in a bluish area. They gave away hundreds of Trump signs and other stuff.
They were near the Democrats who were looking bored and demoralized.
