As I reported last week, Barack Obama had a "tough talk" with black voters in Pennsylvania, especially young black voters who he assumed were misogynist and weren't going to vote for a woman president. "We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy," he told them, adding that their lack of enthusiasm for Kamala Harris "seems to be more pronounced with the brothers." Polls are showing that young black men are voting for Donald Trump. They buy groceries, too. The Biden-Harris administration has been a disaster … President Joe Biden has paid more attention to the trans community than the black community.
CNN recently did a segment on Harris' problem attracting young black men. Polls show black men between the ages of 18 and 44 voting for Harris with only a 41-point margin — the bottom of a slope that began with Barack Obama and continued to slide through Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
No matter how you splice the data, Trump seems to be the strongest Republican with Black voters since 1960. Young Black men in particular have trended right during Trump's runs (cutting the Dem margin by 40 pts from 2012).

Trump has better policies than Kamala

I wouldn't want to be the party who's worried about their base in October.

Her base has collapsed and yet the pollsters would like us to believe she’s ahead in the polls. 😂

Over a decade of hardly any change for the communities. People tend to grow wiser.

President Joe Biden told them they weren't black if they voted for Donald Trump. That's how much the Democrats take the black vote for granted.
It was supposed to be a major scandal when Trump told the National Association of Black Journalists that he didn't even know Harris was black — but if you look at all the headlines when she was elected senator, they all celebrated the election of the first Indian-American senator. Trump said that Harris decided to be black, and we've heard Harris' fake black accent at the Black Caucus Dinner.
I saw a video earlier today of a young black man saying that if Harris could marry a white man, then he could vote for a white man.

The Biden-Harris administration has been such a disaster that black Americans are waking up. And we've seen that they're not thrilled that all of the resources intended for the black community are going to feed and house illegal immigrants.
As I reported earlier, James Carville did his version of the "put y'all back in chains" line by warning young black men that Trump was going to use the military to "round them up" if he won.
The scare tactics aren't working.
