Black Voters Voice Concerns on Border Crisis and Inflation, Could Impact Democrats' Support

In an interview with Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla, Texas Republican Congressman Wesley Hunt discusses how former President Trump continues to gain support among Black voters. Hunt emphasizes that issues such as the border crisis, the economy, and inflation are not just Black issues but American issues.

He believes that Democrats will soon realize that Black voters care about these issues as well. Hunt aims to peel off 25 to 30 percent of the Black male vote, along with support from Black women, in order to mathematically prevent Democrats from winning.

He states that President Trump is already polling well among Black voters and now they need to ensure that these supporters come out to vote in November.

Biden and Trump Compete for Michigan's Black Voters in Critical 2024 Race

The Biden and Trump campaigns are both targeting Michigan's Black voters in their efforts to secure the state's electoral votes. President Joe Biden will heavily depend on Black voters, who have historically supported the Democratic Party, to win Michigan in November.

However, some Black voters feel that their support should not be taken for granted, and have called for the party to make a greater effort to earn their votes. In the 2020 election, 92% of Michigan's Black voters supported Biden.

Polling averages currently show a slight advantage for Biden in Michigan, but it may still be too early to draw firm conclusions. The Democratic Party is relying on established social norms within the Black community to maintain high levels of support, while Republicans are targeting African Americans who reside or live outside predominantly Black communities.

The upcoming election will test both parties' ability to engage and motivate Black voters.
