The vice president released a plan to help Black men financially, held interviews with two Black media outlets and put out targeted ads in battleground states.
Vice President Kamala Harris made a sweeping push on Monday to energize Black voters, among whom she faces slipping support, unveiling a plan to bolster the finances of Black men, appearing in interviews with two Black media outlets and releasing a pair of ads in battleground states targeted to that crucial voting group.
Taken together, Ms. Harris’s blitz put forward a broad argument that her administration would deliver meaningful policy changes for Black Americans and that former President Donald J. Trump was making empty promises that contradict his history of racist remarks.
“There is a very big difference between Donald Trump and how I will be president of the United States,” she said, citing his false claims about Haitian immigrants in Ohio and detailing her plans to cut taxes for the middle class during an appearance on The Shade Room, a digital entertainment publication with more than 29 million followers on Instagram.
“And I cannot impress upon people enough that this is somebody — Donald Trump — who intends to take us backward,” she added.
The Harris campaign is facing pressure to shore up support from voters of color, who are normally reliable Democratic constituencies, and from Black men in particular. Polls show that Ms. Harris is receiving significantly lower support from Black men than President Biden did in 2020. The slip from Mr. Biden’s 2020 numbers among that voting bloc is striking: 70 percent said they would vote for Ms. Harris in November, down from Mr. Biden’s 85 percent in 2020.

By offering more ‘free stuff’ her campaign is doubling down on stupid, insulting them again!...............
obviously she has chosen a white guy for her husband...
she had a taste of black men with free willie, and dissed the brothers.
Wonder what accent she'll use...Northern Ghetto or California Ebonics.
They’re so racist. It’s an LBJ thing and he was a bad president
They’re either working for the constitution or they’re not
People can either recognize that the constitution does not support racism or they don’t have to recognize that. But the constitution does not support racism.
This country is moving ahead with foundational principles and this racist ‘black vote’ ‘Hispanic vote’ crap is going to be a thing of the pas
What if Abe Lincoln had survived and ran for a second term. Could newly emancipated slaves vote for Abe Lincoln? No, according to Obama, because he was white. Similarly, Trump policies were much better for the black person than Obama’s. (Better than Biden’s, as well.) Stats show it. But, according to Obama, the only thing blacks should consider is skin color. Correct?
Obama to Harris: Don’t blow this.
harris: i know, it’s just an expression.
Most blacks don’t vote. And Kamala looks white. So she’s not appealing to most black voters.
“We’re in the process of importing your replacements, but we still need your votes.”
So sick of the NYT lying. This time its about Springfield.
So pretending to be someone she’s not isn’t working any more?
Go figure.
He won reelection in 1864.
How bad is it to have to campaign for blacks when you are a Dem?
“I ain’t no ways tard.”
Free Colt 45 malt liquor and menthol cigs for the brothers!
There was no amendment at that time barring him from running for multiple terms.
Thanks for the correction.
She’s losing men, especially young men, across the races.
Is she campaigning to get the votes of Jamaican/Indians? Probably the more she goes after the black voters the more she loses with the young upcoming Hispanics and others who strive for prosperity for themselves and their families, not handouts.
And yet the NFL still has "END RACISM" in the end zones and on many helmets!
Unbelievable.
I doubt he’d had run again in 1868. The war took its toll on him.
