Current polls show a vast majority of Black voters are backing Joe Biden. But in swing states where the race could be tight, squeezing out a few more Black votes could make a difference for President Trump.

But shortly after they began holding"Black Voices for Trump" events, the coronavirus pandemic shut down in-person campaigning for months. And during that time, the election landscape shifted.

"We're in the communities, because we knew we could not depend on the mainstream press to tell Americans exactly what this president is doing and has done for them," said senior campaign adviser Katrina Pierson."So we're on the ground making sure that they stay informed." According to Pierson, that office now has about eight people on staff. In recent weeks, the Milwaukee office has hosted a cookout and a movie night, screening a documentary about Black conservatives.

But gaining support for any Republican in these Democratic strongholds is not going to be easy, and polls have shown that a majority of Black voters believe Trump is racist. Back in February, Quinn Taylor was one of the Milwaukee residents who attended the Trump campaign panel discussion. Taylor said he liked that Trump was talking more about social distancing and wearing masks, but he's not sure how long that will last.

Let’s stop pretending there’s any legitimacy to this election. We have an out-of-control authoritarian dismantling institution after institution to manipulate the vote. No more naive campaign strategizing. Hold our government accountable now.

Black Evangelicals Surround him. They Want 'God's' Kingdom. There has been extensive surveillance being done the world Of Zealotry. They are unleashing The Kraken.

Let’s think about how he “presidented” the prior 3 1/2 years vs. him trying to secure black votes in the last few months. Seems like a hail mary to me.

DocDarnell Has he asked ' what do you have to lose yet '?

AZPubRadio Kardashian family likes an autocrat and so they're sending Kanye spoiler to add to all the other kneecapping of America by ThugInChief & GOP.

Fake news again

Maybe some of those few Trump’s trying to squeeze out in swing states will vote for Yeezy. Just sayin’.

Lmao its going to be almost 30% for trump. Black ppl know the truth about biden

A vast majority of informed Blacks are backing the POTUS.

Look at all the greedy, shameless, mercenary Black Sambis and Sambettes.

Forget it

Oh lord bless this lyin, cheatin, porn star chasing POS. Amen

The klan has always been conservative and the klan loves donnie t. The klan hates liberals because they took the dem party from them, they hate Biden and they absolutely loath Harris. Donnie calls them, 'fine people', and dog whistles messages to them regularly.

Squeeze those “blacks” for all you can democrats

All this hype for Biden winning, IF it is true it will mean problems for the country when he wins. But IF it is just hype, not true, and Trump wins then those that have been lied to by the Democrats and by the Press, IMHO they will become violent and deadly.

They also think they can win New York. These people are absolutely delusional.

When have black voters not backed the Dem candidate. They black vote is a monolith ad Joe Biden started. It can be taken for granted. But as black enter upper middle class that will diminish

Now that's one creepy picture.

Amen!

What a disgusting picture!

Trump is a racist

ChristiansAgainstTrump

A Segregationist and a cop are the dem candidates.... HaHaHa

Yeah, having a President who undid Less than Average JoeBiden's three strikes law must be a hard sell.

Only an idiot would back this idiot. Be they Peanut Butter and Jelly or not.

Many black Americans have conservative values, but they won’t vote GOP as long as the dog whistles continue.

I saw the Blacks for Trump section at Tulsa on TV. It was a small section and now even smaller. HermanCain Goodluck with this ‘special initiative.’

This picture: 🤮

Can we stop saying “the black vote”?

Bruuuuuh. This picture is everything 😂😂😂

You know what at this point this is all BS because the elections are in danger not because some blacks don’t want Biden it’s because China Gave machines to KKK trumps robot daughter and Russia is in our house

This picture is wearing me the fuck out

Trump Can't Be Racist Because He Donated Money To Kamala Harris, Says Trump CampaignPresident Trump has already gleefully taken to calling Sen. Kamala Harris—Joe Biden’s official 2020 running mate— “nasty” and “mean,” but he must not have thought she was so bad when he donated $6,000 to her re-election campaign.\n And he’s friends with Kanye. You can be racist if you have acknowledged that someone is black. Noticing someone is black is the pinnacle of anti-racism

The Racist Right Knows Exactly How to Campaign Against Black CandidatesThe announcement of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s running mate and possibly the future vice president of these United States has ripped a hole in the space-time continuum and has brought forward a version of Donald Trump from 2009. This version is just as horrible as the 2020 version but with the added seasoning of birtherism, a concept Trump and the far-right continue to only apply to Black people and people of color somehow forgetting that white people have the ability to be born in countries other than America.
