Far-right scammers Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have been fined $1 million for making robocalls with misleading and false messages aimed at suppressing the Black vote during the 2020 election. The robocalls contained racially coded language and harmful stereotypes about the Black community. ๐ซ๐ก
The calls claimed that voting by mail would lead to personal information being used by police departments to track down warrants and credit card companies to collect debts, as well as the CDC using the information to track people for mandatory vaccines. ๐๐ฃ
Wohl and Burkman violated several laws protecting voters and the electoral process, including the Ku Klux Klan Act and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The pair have a history of botched smear campaigns and spreading false information. They are widely discredited, and their actions tend to have the opposite effect of what they intend. ๐คก๐

Former President Donald Trump has once again made an unsubtle call for immigration from what he considers "nice" countries, or countries with overwhelmingly white populations. Speaking at a multimillion-dollar fundraiser, Trump referenced his controversial ๐ฉ๐ณ๏ธ countries" comments and questioned why the US couldn't allow people from countries like Denmark ๐ฉ๐ฐ, Switzerland ๐จ๐ญ, and Norway ๐ณ๐ด to immigrate. He defended his comments, stating that he meant no harm. However, his history of racism is well-documented, and his recent remarks continue to add to that record. It is concerning that Trump's perspective hasn't changed as he eyes a possible return to the White House. It is worth noting that polls suggest Trump could make gains among Black voters, despite his routine evidence of racism. The impact on the upcoming presidential election remains to be seen. ๐ฎ

The recent decision by the US Supreme Court to allow South Carolina Republicans to use a congressional map that dilutes the black vote has caused outrage in the state. ๐ก Last year, a federal court had struck down a map that Republicans had drawn after finding that they had used race in an impermissible manner. The state appealed the ruling, and while the Supreme Court has been slow to resolve the case, the lower court has allowed the same map to be used in this year's election, much to the delight of Republicans. ๐บ๏ธ This victory highlights the ongoing struggle for fair representation in the US and has prompted civil rights groups to continue fighting for the rights of black voters. โ

Former President Donald Trump has claimed that any U.S. Jew who votes for President Joe Biden "doesn't love Israel and should be spoken to." ๐ก In an interview with 'Real America's Voice,' Trump falsely alleged that Democrats are hesitant to discuss the October 7 Hamas attacks because Biden "is no fan of Israel." ๐ฑ This statement further reinforces Trump's belief that American Jews who do not support him and his policies are not loyal to Israel. ๐ค

โข Trump suggests that American Jews who vote for Biden are not pro-Israel ๐บ๐ธโ๐ฎ๐ฑ

President Joe Biden recently made an appeal to Black voters at a historic church in South Carolina, condemning white supremacy and discussing his re-election campaign. However, Black voters have differing views on Biden's track record and his potential run for presidency in 2024. ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฅ
Some highlights of their perspectives include:
โข One Black voter praised Biden's achievements, such as the Affordable Care Act, and expressed hope that four more years in office would allow him to fulfill more promises. ๐โจ
โข Another voter plans to vote for former President Donald Trump, believing that he had done more for the American people. ๐ณ๏ธ๐ค๐บ๐ธ
โข A supporter of Biden felt a sense of community with his visit and recognized the challenges he faced from Congress. ๐ค๐๏ธ
Overall, Black voters have mixed opinions on Biden and the 2024 race, with many still undecided on who they will vote for. The Biden campaign has been facing a drop in approval from Black voters, signaling that his appeal to this demographic may be waning. โ๏ธ๐๐

In a surprising twist, some Black voters in a key state are saying they won't vote for President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election. CNN spoke to Black voters in Atlanta who expressed their disillusionment and disappointment with Biden, despite his historical win and promises of progress for racial justice. ๐ณ๏ธ
Highlights from the article include:
โข Some Black voters feel that Biden has not done enough to address issues of racial inequality and police brutality. ๐ก
โข Others believe that Biden has not fulfilled his campaign promises, including passing comprehensive police reform and providing economic relief for marginalized communities. ๐๐๐ฐ
โข There is a sense of frustration and anger among these voters, who feel that their votes are taken for granted by politicians. ๐ค
โข Many of these voters are open to considering alternative candidates who prioritize their concerns. โจ๐
This article sheds light on an important perspective within the Black community, challenging the notion that all Black voters are loyal to Biden. It highlights the complexity and diversity of political opinions within any racial or ethnic group. ๐๐

Donald Trump is targeting swing-state black voters who are unhappy with Joe Biden as part of his campaign strategy for the 2024 elections.๐ฏ Despite Trump's history of racially divisive comments and connections to white nationalists, he now enjoys higher ratings among black voters than any other Republican presidential candidate in modern history.๐๐ฎ Discontent with Biden, particularly regarding economic issues, has eroded the president's support within this key demographic. Trump's campaign aims to attract as much as a quarter of the black vote, significantly higher than the 5% to 12% he won in 2020.๐โ
This strategy is part of Trump's larger plan to target traditionally Democratic constituencies and weaken support for Biden in swing states. Despite Biden's strong turnout among black voters during the last election, recent surveys show a slip in favorability ratings, creating an opening for Trump.โก

In a recent interview, Senator Tim Scott criticized President Joe Biden for his past comments regarding black voters. ๐ During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden infamously told black voters that they "ain't black" if they had trouble deciding between him and then-President Donald Trump. Although Biden later apologized for the remarks, Republicans ๐ด have continued to use them as ammunition against him. Scott quoted Biden's comment and highlighted the fact that in 2024, 40% of African American men are not considered "Black enough" for the president. ๐ฑ This criticism comes as Scott has been positioning himself as a prominent figure in the Republican Party's efforts to reach black voters. Recent polls ๐ showing Biden's declining approval ratings among minority voters have created an opportunity for Republicans to make inroads with these communities. Scott's vocal criticism of Biden's comment is part of his broader strategy to engage black voters and demonstrate how the Republican Party can offer a better alternative. ๐ช
