ATLANTA — Former President Barack Obama’s bid to bolster turnout for Vice President Kamala Harris is...

The Haitian American, who arrived in the United States more than two decades ago, voted twice for Mr. Obama. This year, he is supporting Mr. Trump. He blames Mr. Obama and the Biden-Harris administration for increased crime and rising prices. The Powder Springs, Georgia, resident said life was better when Mr. Trump was president.

“Obama’s policies were so bad for the African American community. Now, inflation is over the top. Things need to change, and we want that change,” he said. “Trump is strong, and we know the former president is going to be different.”

Mr. Obama is barnstorming battleground states in the closing days of the presidential race to try to increase turnout among the party’s traditionally loyal Black voter base.

This year is much different from Mr. Obama’s historic run in 2008, when Black voters turned out in record numbers and 93% voted for him. Polls show a double-digit drop among Black Americans planning to vote for Ms. Harris compared ​with their support for President Biden in 2020, even though victory would make her the first Black female president.

Mr. Obama has jumped onto the campaign trail to help Ms. Harris. After essentially staying out of the public eye since leaving office in 2017, he can’t rally the Black vote the way he once could.

The former president’s pitch for Ms. Harris also fell flat with Dwayne Prescott, 22, who said he is undecided about how he will vote.

“I was a kid when he was president,” said Mr. Prescott, a drugstore clerk who lives in Macon, Georgia. “I remember nothing that man did besides Obamacare, and that barely did anything.”

And Democrat Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama went out and insulted black men, in general

The black community has finally realized what a fraudulent clown barrack Obama is. It's so refreshing to see black men reject the fake black man. Obama has nothing in common with black Americans. He was raised by and with rich white communist. Kamala is even more fake. The democrats will never run a real black American. They run these frauds and the media blackens them up to get the black vote.
