As the race for the White House enters the final stretch, Vice President Kamala Harris appeared in several high-profile interviews, including “60 Minutes,” discussing changes in some of her policy positions. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump opened up on Fox News about what a victory for him could mean for political rivals.
SCRANTON, Pa. — Sixteen years ago, Barack Obama made history by becoming the first Black president. Now Vice President Kamala Harris is enlisting him in her quest to make history and become the first female and first Indian American president. Obama is set to host a rally Thursday in Pittsburgh, a crucial part of this battleground state that he carried twice and may decide whether Harris or Donald Trump wins the presidency.
In fact, he said, there has been a “phenomenal” rise in Black voter motivation to turn out since Harris replaced President Joe Biden on the ticket. During the Obama era, the number of Black men voting for Democrats went up but then went right back down after he left office. “She’s got to earn the vote of Black men just like any other group,' Belcher said. Trump and the Republican Party have made “an unprecedented lean in and targeting of African American men,” Belcher said.
