Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris will next week highlight her economic policies that benefit Black men, hoping to energize a voting bloc that some advisers fear has embraced Republican rival Donald Trump in large numbers, three sources familiar with the plans said.
The policy focus will coincide with an event in Detroit on Tuesday where Harris will be interviewed by popular Black radio personality Charlamagne tha God, who has been critical of the Biden administration, the sources said.
…
Over a quarter of young Black men say they would support Trump in the election race, a September poll by the NAACP, the nation's largest civil rights organization, showed. U.S. President Joe Biden got about 80% of the Black male vote in 2020.
The Trump campaign has said it has been targeting Black voters in battleground states by teaming up with Black rappers as well as through community events and small business roundtables in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Nevada.
Trump has also been courting Black voters by saying they stand to lose jobs to migrants coming across the border.
On Thursday, former President Barack Obama delivered a stern rebuke to Black men, who he said were "coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses" not to back Harris…. Some in the Black community took offense to Obama's remarks.
"Black men and Black women do not vote much differently, it's wrong to single out Black men when Black men are the most loyal male voting block for Democrats," Nina Turner, a senior fellow at the Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy, said on the social media platform X.
Harris has told campaign staff they need to do more outreach to Black men, including rallies and events that put them centerstage, one of the sources with knowledge of the matter said.

I think that ship has sailed. What has she done, aside from letting thousands upon thousands of illegals in, to affect employment one way or another?
A $750 dollar loan.
Free money. Lots of it. Reparations. Lots of it. Any college of their choice, regardless of high school record. Paid in full by the US government (aka, the American taxpayer). Reduced or eliminated criminal punishment (headed in that direction already).
Of coarse give aways, tax payer money for nothing
Barak Obama is a curse on this nation.
Must watch 🔥🔥🔥

When you’re fighting to re-win what is supposed to be your base, you’re in trouble.
😁😁😁
Oh snap!!! This woman absolutely destroys Obama for trying to shame black men for voting Trump 🔥🔥🔥🔥
“You do not own black people! We are not slaves! Our chains are gone! We do not owe you anything and we do not have to give you an account for how we choose to vote!”

Bringing out metrosexual Obama to chastise black men was a lethal error. A campaign focused on and led by sick androphobic females has no idea whatsoever how to appeal to men.
I hope they remember, she’s a liar just like all the other RAT politicians. They don’t have the authority to make promises they can’t keep.
I wrote this elsewhere… Obama has become like Howard Stern.
There was a recent story about how Stern slobbered all over, erm, interviewed Harris.
This coming from the “shock jock” himself, who had strippers and lesbians on his show. He was getting fined by the FCC and stretching the boundaries of free speech (and, truth be told, good taste). He was a staunch supporter of American exceptionalism. Back in the day, Stern put on a very entertaining (though crude) morning show, though in truth most of the humor came from Jackie. Heck, Stern to have Trump on his show.
Now, Howie is an irrelevant old man. He’s desperate for attention and is now aligned with the same people he used to mock.
Same with Obama. While I was never a fan, from 2007 he was a political and social force. Many people supported him, perhaps especially blacks. He was the last President to win elections by wide margins (though it should be noted he’s also the only contemporary President to win re-election by a slimmer margin than his initial election).
Today, he’s like Stern: a washed-up has-been who, beyond a tight cluster of fans , is irrelevant AND quite possibly a clown who is laugh at.
Teaming up with rappers = teaming up with the people whose societal poison has done as much as anything to hobble the progress of the target audience
Black men don’t want to go to a stupid college at this point free or not. Forgive past child support debt might be a hook.
She can say they won’t be helped with no tax on overtime as they don’t work.
Trump could suggest a $100k withdrawal from IRA’s-no tax.
That would attract the achievers.
“Charlamagne tha God has been critical of the Biden administration”
Harris: “I can’t think of a thing I would do differently [than the Biden administration].”
That’s a tough circle to square, but I’m sure the Word Salad Chef Extraordinaire is up to the task.
Yeah. Tell them they aren’t men unless they vote for Harris. That’ll do the trick.
Please remain clueless, Dems. Your decades of pandering is being recognized now and is coming home to roost.
The ‘Rat Party needs to be fundamentally changed into the Loser Party.
With what she did to Black men in California as Attorney General—NO black man should EVER support her—it would literally be suicide.
