(TSN): Sen. Tim Scott
of South Carolina says if former Pres. Donald Trump gets 20% of the African American
vote, it would “decimate” the Democratic party, giving Republicans control over
the House and Senate. On Fox News he
sold the idea that workers were more secure under Trump. “President Trump’s
contrast to Pres. Biden could not e better for the working class,” said the Senator
who some say is hoping to become Trump’s running mate.
A group of conservative Black activists, the Black
Conservative Federation and Black Voices for Trump, founded by Diante Johnson are
working to flip the traditional political script among African Black men in particular.
The organization ins targeting black male voters in 6 battleground states.
Black enthusiasm for Trump is steadily climbing. He garnered 8%
of the black vote in 2016, mainly men and an increase of 12% in 2020.
The group is targeting African American
men in 6 battleground states to get them to cast their ballot for Trump. They say Democrats have failed them in the
past. They have the backing of not only
Scott but Republican Congressman Byron Donalds of Florida to get closer to trumpet
their message. But Scott predicts
Trump will see a significant impact of 15% with a boost from young Black voters
come November. Recent New York Time dolling is more favorable than that for
Trump.
It asked likely voters if they voted today who they would
choose. The results showed Trump could win than 20 percent of the Black
vote — a record that would be the highest level of Black support for any
Republican presidential candidate since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
These would-be voters are
discontent with Biden’s handling of the Israel-Palestine War and the economy.
