Trump’s Gains With Black Voters Could Decide 2024—And The Future Of American Politics
AMAC ^ | 7/25/24 | Aaron Flanigan

Posted on 07/26/2024 12:23:24 PM PDT by CFW

President Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the race and endorse Kamala Harris makes Harris – the first black and female vice president – the heavy favorite to become the new Democrat nominee. While conventional wisdom suggests that Harris would be able to reverse Biden’s dramatic polling collapse with black voters over the past four years, polling data indicates that a Harris-led ticket might actually continue former President Donald Trump’s surging popularity with that demographic.

Throughout Biden’s presidency, Harris has remained consistently less popular with blacks than Biden. A 2021 poll showed that just 38 percent of blacks believe Harris cares “a lot” about black people – compared to 78 percent who said the same of Obama.

According to a CBS News poll out this week, Trump is performing about the same against Harris as he was against Biden among black voters, winning about 21 percent of the demographic group.

That’s bad news for Harris, as some polls have indicated that Trump’s support among black voters has more than doubled since 2020 (up from 9 percent) while Biden saw a stunning 12-point drop (81 percent to 69 percent). Among younger black voters (ages 18 to 49), Trump now enjoys a historically unprecedented 25 percent support. Even the far-left Washington Post was forced to admit that Trump is well on his way to setting “modern-day records” with black voters this fall.

I do think the key this November will be the black vote. Will that voter segment fall in line and vote Democrat as expected?

If they vote for Trump, especially in places in which voting anything other than a straight Democrat ticket would be unheard of, then Democrats operatives may be unprepared to counter that Trump surge.

Republicans have a lot of work to do in the next 100 days. Scott Presler is registering voters in Pennsylvania. Does the RNC or Trump campaign have young black Trump-supporting men visiting the black barber shops of Detroit and Baltimore?

Also, is the RNC going to make sure those precincts have GOP ballots available so the Democrats can't say, "We didn't have any republican ballots so it's not our fault these people couldn't vote as they wished".

I am giving to groups helping, like True the Vote. These groups respect me.

Virtually no candidate or GOP group honors my “Stop” requests, so I get between 4 four and 16 texts a day. WinRed seems to sell or give “me” to new candidates, but I keep getting Trump, RNC, House and Senate texts, etc., even after texting back to stop. They put me on a new list and then I have to stop that one, then they put me on another list, and I have to stop that one, then they, well, you understand.

I will now only give on Anedot or via check.

The harassment never ends! To the Trump and other campaigns—if you do not respect me, I will not give to you.

I never heard of a “Republican ballot” or a “Democrat ballot” in a general election. It’s just one ballot — with the names of ALL the candidates on it.

It’s supposedly a matter of record that while she was Willie Brown’s DA, she pressed to have Bay-Area Americans (many of them black) incarcerated on drug charges while helping illegal aliens escape drug charges in order to prevent them from being deported.

In 2020, Trump tried to bribe blacks with his Platinum Plan. His version of reparations.

I hope Trump doesn't pander this time.

And if he specifies what he'll do for blacks, I hope he'll also specify what he'll do for whites -- actually saying the W Word.

Circa 2019-—Kamala Harris’ record as a prosecutor was exposed during the 2020 Democratic debate;
Harris’ abysmal record was outed for her vengeful acts incarcerating scores of young black men.

By Ella Torres, abcnews.com. July 31, 2019, 9:59 PM

Democratic Presidential Debate: Moments that mattered from night 2.
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Tulsi Gabbard, Corey Booker and six other hopefuls sparred.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard didn’t hold back when she took aim at Sen. Kamala Harris, saying “there is no excuse” for her record as a prosecutor and she owed those “who suffered under [her] reign as prosecutor” an apology.

Gabbard, D-Hawaii, was speaking about the country’s criminal justice system at Wednesday night’s Democratic debate when she brought Harris’ history into question. Gabbard said that while Harris, D-Calif., is proud of her record, she is “deeply concerned.”

“There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 black men in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence, she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so,” Gabbard said.

”She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California, and she fought to keep cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way,” Gabbard said.

Harris responded that she significantly reformed the criminal justice system in California and she was proud of her work.

“And I am proud of making a decision to not just give fancy speeches or be in a legislative body and give speeches on the floor but doing the work of being in the position to use the power that I had to reform a system that is badly in need of reform,” she said.

But Gabbard wasn’t done. “The bottom line is Senator Harris when you were in a position to make a difference and an impact in these people’s lives, you did not and worse yet in the case of those who are on death row, innocent people, you actually blocked evidence from being revealed that would have freed them until you were forced to do so,” she said.

“There is no excuse for that and the people who suffered under your reign as prosecutor, you owe them an apology,” Gabbard added. Harris served as the attorney general of California from 2011 to 2017.


Upshot: Harris was forced to resign from the race—— had zero support from Democrats.

I've been getting conservative text spam too. One or two a week. I searched the numbers via DuckDuckGo, and they're spam phone numbers.

I block every number, and "Report as Junk" to Apple, but the texts keep coming. From a different phone number each time.

President Trump looked us all in the eyes during his acceptance speech and made us a solemn promise that he would not allow this to happen.

fwiw

There are many black males on Twitter who are pro-Trump, including some gay black men. All of them say he needs to up his social media presence in both X/Twitter and, more importantly, TikTock. And further, that he should return to X, and post there as well. As it stands, he is posting on Truth Social, and DJTJr or the campaign, screenshots his Truth Social posts and posts them on X.

They just use any other available phone number.

They know when a cell or landline user gives up their number, and they host from that, virtually.

“Quick Kamala. Go out and buy some more vinyl from Motown artists. Yeah, that’s the ticket!!!”


You have to admit that was pretty funny! Any true Motown fan would already have every single one of those albums she purchased.

I just listened to a media clip (I’m not sure what news station since I’m in the kitchen and hubby had in on in the living room) and the analysts were all concerned about New Hampshire and the college educated white vote. THOSE are the voters Kamala is going after.

Just like Clinton ignored Wisconsin, Kamala may ignore the inner city black vote while just assuming those voters will fall in line and vote as instructed. From some of the videos I’ve watched over the past couple of days, the young black male voters that have moved to Trump are not changing to Kamala. They are mocking her unmercifully online.

...”the first black and female vice president...”


Kamala is NOT black. However, that is what they are leading with. The FIRST!! BLACK!!! FEMALE!!!

Can we please discuss her experience, policy successes, and achievements? No? Why not? Oh, because she doesn’t have any to brag about. But, she is female and black.

There was a battleground poll done this week in Michigan. Not a single black voter was for Trump.
