The Democratic Party is in the dark about the possibility of Black people supporting former US President Donald Trump in the upcoming vote, which raises concerns for the party.
Clyburn said during a Sunday appearance on CNN’s” State of the Union” that she was concerned about Black people staying at home or voting for Trump. Despite his concerns, the congressman said it would n’t affect his enthusiasm for the campaign, as reported by the Hill.
In response to former President Barack Obama‘s subsequent call to action against Black people, Clyburn’s comments come as a result of the demographic’s declining aid for vice chairman Kamala Harris. Speaking in Pennsylvania, Obama addressed the issue directly:” You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses… part of it makes me think that, well, you just are n’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president”.
Some Democrats worry that Trump is gaining support among Black men in new polls. Clyburn, who has been campaigning for Harris in Michigan, reported having “very frank and direct debate” with Black officials in the state, noting their desire to understand what a Harris management may offer.
Senator Raphael Warnock, however, dismissed concerns during the same program, dismissing the idea that Black people would vote for Trump in huge quantities, saying,” It’s not going to happen”.
