As Harris slips, Dems issue all-call for black male voters

With Kamala Harris slipping in the polls, and especially among African American men, the Democrats are scrambling to shore up their support.

The Harris campaign is starting to panic, according to several media accounts, as her poll numbers fade in almost every swing state and among minority voters, especially among black men. So, Harris campaigned at a black church over the weekend and had Barack Obama on the campaign trail as well, browbeating his African American brothers. 

“You're thinking about sitting out, or even supporting somebody who has a history of denigrating you? That's not acceptable,” Obama said.

According to a New York Times/Sienna College poll, Donald Trump has about 15% of the black vote, and fully 20% among black men, which if that holds through the election, would be only the third time in the last 50-plus years that the GOP has pulled double digits in African American support.

Bishop EW Jackson of STAND says the weak masculinity championed by Harris and Walz is turning off men in the black community.

“I think men are feeling pretty much left out, and watching the Democrats, frankly, seeming to push women forward all the time while we know men are in many ways losing ground,” he said.

In addition, the black community is starting to realize that Democrats have never really been on their side.

“I think the spirit of the Democrat Party, the party of slavery, the party of Jim Crow, segregation, the spirit of that party has not changed. I think a lot of black men are really taking a second look, and I think they're going to be shocked on Election Day how many black men end up voting for Trump,” Jackson said.
