Notice how the issues on which Trump is attracting non-traditional voters are the same ones that appeal to traditional Republicans. His message is a broad one on issues that impact everyone – the economy, the border, and cultural rot. The response from Harris is to offer racist, targeted, crass handouts based on race and ethnicity to woo back those voters. Trump’s message is one for all Americans. Harris’ message is the continued segmentation and dividing of Americans into the pigs and the sheep.

With just weeks to go until the US presidential election, Kamala Harris is ramping up efforts to court black and Latino voters. Despite holding a clear lead among both groups, some Democrats have warned she needs to do more to energise these voters to turn out for her in November.

 

That’s in part due to recent polling which suggests Harris’s Republican rival Donald Trump is having success in winning over black and Latino voters, a continuation of gains he made in 2016 and 2020.

 

One New York Times and Siena poll indicated Harris had 78% support among black voters, compared to around 90% support for Democrats in recent elections, with men accounting for most of this drop-off.

The economy, particularly inflation and the cost of living, is the primary issue for a majority of voters.

 

This is the case for many black and Latino voters, with the New York Times suggesting a sizable majority of both groups are dissatisfied with the current state of the American economy.

Echoing the broader US electorate, both black and Latino voters have expressed concern about immigration and the handling of the US-Mexico border by the Biden administration.

 

Strong border controls and a pledge to deport millions of undocumented migrants form a central part of the Trump campaign’s platform.

Political science Professor Quardricos Driskell said black male voters in particular have turned away from what some see as a Democratic “embrace” of social agendas contrary to their own views.

 

“There’s this perception that there has been this assault on masculinity and what that means,” he said. “I think that’s what some black male voters are railing against.”
