Black voters who attended Donald Trump’s rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, last weekend said that the former president “is for everybody” and that their beliefs are based on “morals,” not “skin color.” Speaking with Fox News reporters at Trump’s first campaign rally since the assassination attempt against him in Pennsylvania, Anthony from Kalamazoo said Democrats “take us for granted.” “When we speak, they don’t listen,” he added. While Biden won 87 percent of the black vote in 2020 compared to Trump’s 12 percent, the Democrats’ hold on minority voters has been slipping. A recent CBS News/YouGov poll revealed that Biden’s...

Three years ago, San Francisco launched an experiment to give 150 pregnant Black and Pacific Islander women $1,000 a month, no strings attached, for the duration of their pregnancy and six months after the birth. *** Now, that effort is almost certainly about to come to a screeching halt. And another guaranteed income program to assist San Francisco’s transgender residents — who are 18 times more likely to experience homelessness than the general population — already has been shut down. Participants were only given a month’s notice before being cut off. *** So, how could two successful programs, lauded by...

More than 1,400 Black women and allies have indicated their support for President Biden and Vice President Harris in a letter released Thursday. Highlighting the fact that millions of Americans cast ballots for Biden and Harris in the primary, the women said attempts to change the ticket “disregard” and “circumvent the will of millions of voters who participated in a democratic process.” “The suggestion that any candidate who won their primary should simply step aside because victory appears difficult at the moment is disrespectful to the voters, unjust and undemocratic,” the women wrote. The letter is signed by Black powerhouses...

Billionaire Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker failed to deliver jobs promised for black workers in the emerging cannabis and green energy industries, an economic advocacy group said in a scathing report. Pritzker – considered a potential replacement for President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket – will be hosting the Democratic National Convention on his Chicago turf in August. “Governor Pritzker wants the DNC to celebrate his leadership of the state. However, it would be an injustice to do so without acknowledging the deteriorating state of affairs for Black communities, especially in Chicago,” said Darius Jones, senior advisor...

Former President Donald Trump is edging out President Joe Biden and garnering support from nearly a quarter of black voters, a recent survey from CBS News/YouGov found. The survey showed Trump leading Biden with support from 50 percent of respondents. Biden comes one point behind with 49 percent support. In other words, while it is a virtual tie, Trump continues to edge out Biden even after the various cases of lawfare against him — the Manhattan jury’s guilty verdict in Trump’s business records trial being the latest example of such.

CNN senior political data reporter Harry Enten said Monday on “News Central” that former President Donald Trump has historic strength with black voters. Host John Berman asked, “Where does the race stand among African-American voters right now?” Enten said, “I keep looking for this to change, to go back to a historical norm and it’s, simply put, has not yet. In 2020, Joe Biden was getting 86% of the African-American vote. Look at where it is now. It’s 70%, that’s a 16-point drop, John. And more than that, it’s not just that Joe Biden is losing ground, it’s that Donald...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that black male supporters of former President Donald Trump are as real as “unicorns.” During a panel discussion on Rep. Byron Donalds’s (R-FL) remarks about black families during the Jim Crow era, Hostin said, “I think it’s pandering. I don’t think it’s stupidity. I think it’s pandering to Donald Trump.”.

Because if you look at the stats, 77% of — 81%, I’m sorry, of black men are...

NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. federal court of appeals panel suspended a venture capital firm’s grant program for Black women business owners, ruling that a conservative group is likely to prevail in its lawsuit claiming that the program is discriminatory. The ruling against the Atlanta-based Fearless Fund is another victory for conservative groups waging a sprawling legal battle against corporate diversity programs that have targeted dozens of companies and government institutions. The case against the Fearless Fund was brought last year by the American American Alliance for Equal Rights, a group led by Edward Blum, the conservative activist behind...

Where do you stand on that?”

resident Joe Biden tore into Donald Trump over his record on race on Wednesday, targeting the former president for his past comments before a crowd of Black voters in Philadelphia. “What would’ve happened if Black Americans had stormed the Capitol? I don’t think he’d be talking about pardons,” Biden said. “This is the same guy who wanted to tear gas you as you peacefully protested George Floyd’s murder. It’s the same guy who still calls the ‘Central Park Five’ guilty, even though they were exonerated. He’s that landlord who denies housing applications because of the color of your skin. He’s...
