Trump gains the support of several Black male celebrities as Harris struggles with Black men
Fox News
While Vice President is struggling with Black men, former President Trump is making gains as several Black male celebrities have announced they are backing him.
According to a New York Times/Siena College poll released last week, Harris currently holds 78% of the Black vote, which is down from 2020, when President Biden won approximately 90% of that voting bloc. It's also down from 2016, when Hillary Clinton won approximately 92% of the Black vote. Harris' support among Black men has dropped even more significantly, according to the report: 70% said they would vote for Harris in November, down from Biden’s 85% in 2020. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Per an NCAAP survey, one in four Black men under 50 said they would support Trump in 2024. Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
While Harris has made numerous attempts to gain support from men and Black America, male commentators from radio host Charlamagne Tha God to comedic actor Eddie Griffin have warned that it may not work and that Trump himself has a unique appeal to Black men.
