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.

She’s now running ads with a black male narrator and specifically stating (lying) what Trump is going to do to African Americans.
Pure racism.
Let’s hop she doesn’t blow it.
I think Trump will win this election, but you have to understand a lot of democrats are lazy bums. Their votes will be “harvested” on the streets.
So Trump rallies, etc, don’t indicate a margin of victory.
Trump voters are the motivated Americans who should vote. Democrat votes are the use of a mass mail system that never should be allowed, and for sure many of their votes are fraudulent.
Happy hour used to mean a time when acholic drinks were sold at a reduced price. Sure you could get some free snacks and such too, but it was discounted drink prices that made it "happy hour".
"Madam Vice-President, won't they compete with our brothers and sisters for jobs?"
"Certainly! And this is another approach to rebuilding our economy from the last three and a half years of this terrible Trump economy, years in which people have been suffering - like I suffered during my working-class childhood!"
"So they are gonna take our jobs by working for a lot less, huh?"
"There is another way to look at that, the opportunity to be an artist, maybe. Haven't you always wanted to be an artist?"
"I think I'm gonna vote for Trump this time."
LOL just when you think something is to funny to be real her tribe leader must have seen the movie barbershop.
That’s a lot of B.J’s to have to give out in 50 days.
Did you ask Willie Brown first?
I guess he’d be the one to know how fast she works.
Oprah may help her with older voters but Tulsi is really helping Trump more.
Voters are fearful Kamala will be more of the same or worse further left. They do not have confidence in her.
They haven’t forgotten Covid mandates.
Trump is winning. Just turnout
