Black Voters in Georgia Express Support for Trump Ahead of Election: ‘A Man of His Word’
Black voters, a crucial demographic in battleground states like Georgia, are increasingly voicing their support for former President Trump, according to a recent report by Politico.
Joseph Parker, a voter, expressed his sentiments, stating, “Trump’s a man of his word. And everything is so high now — groceries, clothes, everything, gas. And four years ago, it wasn’t that high. People see the difference between Kamala Harris and Trump and want some of what they had four years ago. And I do, too.”
Notably, Parker and others contemplating a vote for Trump have never cast a ballot for a Republican presidential candidate in his lifetime. Arthur Beauford shared, “I’m not necessarily the biggest fan of Trump, but I’ll take Trump over Harris.”
Samuel Kem remarked on Trump’s abilities: “I wouldn’t say he’s perfect or anything. He will get the job done. He’s very talented in diplomatic relations with other countries with mutual respect.”
Fabienne Durocher, a voter who backed President Biden in the 2020 election, admitted, “I didn’t like [Trump]. But now, I like him. I don’t like when Democrats are talking about abortion. I don’t want that. So I said, for that, I will change my mind. I’m going to vote for Trump.”
Democratic strategist Howard Franklin emphasized the need for Trump’s opponents to recognize his appeal, mainly as he communicates in a straightforward manner. “I don’t think it would do Democrats any good to deny there’s some appeal there,” Franklin noted.
Former Cobb County Republican Party chair Jason Shepherd described the shift in voter sentiment as “good old-fashioned buyer’s remorse.” He said, “People have been hit in the wallet. All of a sudden, all those mean tweets and crazy comments from Trump just don’t seem as important as a positive balance on your bank account.”
Conservative radio host Shelley Wynter analysed the voting patterns, explaining, “This race is between college-educated and non-college-educated. In the Black community, this race is between the working class and what I call the bourgeois college-educated class. If you went to college, an HBCU, were part of the Divine Nine, you’re all in for Kamala Harris.”
Ralph Reed, former chair of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, highlighted the significance of this demographic shift, stating, “When you’re talking about a state where 30 per cent of the electorate is African American and another 4 per cent are minorities other than Hispanic, it’s a big deal if you move that even a little bit. The thing we don’t know: Is that actually going to be the outcome on Election Day?”
