Some Black NYC voters discuss their support for Trump

As he runs for the White House again, former President Donald Trump is aggressively courting Black voters โ€“ a group that for decades has been the bedrock of the Democratic vote.

During his Manhattan criminal trial, Trump hosted rallies in New York City neighborhoods that are traditionally heavily Democratic.

Madeline Brame said in November she'll vote for Trump, although there was a time in her life where voting for Trump would have been unthinkable.

"I was a 45-year loyal Democrat," Brame told NY1.

In 2016, Brame did not vote for Trump, but she did in 2020. Navigating the criminal justice system after the 2018 murder of her son became a turning point. Now a vocal supporter of Trump, Brame even took the stage during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

In an interview with NY1, Brame said, "I knew that he had conservative values that the country was losing.โ€

For Linwood Dillard, November will be the first time he votes for Trump.

As a business owner, Dillard said, during the pandemic, "Trump was giving a lot to the people that was small business owners.โ€

1) Bless you all.

2) Watch your backs and protect your families. Dems are not tolerant people.

“The blacks and latinos didn’t come out for us this election, but they will next time!” said the delusional boomer Republicans for the 28th year in a row

I like how you heel and respond to roll call.

Like a Pavlov dog.

Probably freaking out that Trump’s percentage of black voters increased in 2020 and is expected to double in 2024, while 1 in 5 black Biden voters are not going to vote at all.

Poor baby.

No. Trump and this year are different. A couple of weeks ago, in Walmart, at checkout I pleasantly said hello to the older black female employee at checkout.

White, friendly, with some gray hair, and well-dressed, I must have seemed approachable, so she glanced around carefully and asked me in a conspiratorial manner what I thought of Trump.

I said, "Trump will be an even better President the second time." She beamed and said she was also for Trump -- and mentioned the Bronx rally.

You sound like a Democrat - assuming the most venal in whole races - I’m in S. MS and during a car show/fair, there were political booths and a LOT of Blacks were walking around with Pro-Trump yard signs and other paraphernalia that was being handed out - it was the trailer-park Whites who had the other side’s crap......

Staying on the Democratic Party plantation โ€ฆ Itโ€™s perplexing. I wonderโ€ฆ If they did a poll how many Africa Americans would know that Lincoln was a Republican?

The Democratic Party has been gaslighting minorities for the past century.
