Democratic Strategists Warn Harris Losing Black Male Voters In Michigan - Washington Examiner

“Former president Barack Obama on Thursday made a direct, impassioned plea to black men to support Vice President Kamala Harris — a key demographic she is struggling to mobilize — at times admonishing them for thinking about sitting out the presidential contest and suggesting sexism might be at play,” the Washington Post reports. Said Obama: “On the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you, knows you, went to college with you, understands the struggles and pain and joy that comes from those experience.” In Trump, he added: “You have someone who has consistently shown disregard, not just for the communities, but for you as a person.
