A CNN Analyst “Speechless” as Black Voters Abandoned President Biden.
CNN statistics reporter Harry Enten was stunned Monday when polls revealed that former President Trump is projected to receive strong support from Black voters.
According to an aggregate of network polls, Black voters’ interest in President Biden is diminishing, dropping from 86% in 2020 to 70% in 2024. Meanwhile, Trump has eroded Biden’s coalition, increasing his support among Black voters over the last four years, from 7% in 2020 to 21% in 2024.
“Look at Black voters under the age of 50, holy cow folks, holy cow, look at this: Joe Biden was ahead by 80 points among this demographic at this stage in 2020. Look at how that advantage has shrunk to just…37 points,” Enten stated. “That lead is down by more than half…I’ve never seen anything like it. “I’m speechless.”
“If this polling is anywhere near correct, we are looking at a historic moment right now where Black voters under the age of 50, which have historically been such a big part of the Democratic coalition, are leaving it in troves,” Enten stated.
“I keep looking for signs that this is going to go back to normal and I don’t see it yet in the polling,” Enten stated. “If anything, right now we’re careening towards historic performance for a Republican presidential candidate, the likes of which we have not seen in six decades.”
Black Americans for Trump
Ahead of the 2024 election, which appears to be a rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump, both candidates have sought support from Black Americans around the country.
Trump’s campaign established a new alliance, “Black Americans for Trump,” on Saturday, featuring endorsements from elected officials, athletes, artists, community leaders, and Black pastors. The Trump campaign stated that it formed the coalition prior to the Juneteenth celebration, which commemorates the day in 1865 when the last enslaved individuals in the United States learned they were free.
The Biden campaign, on the other hand, hopes to replicate his success with Black voters, a critical demographic that helped him defeat Donald Trump in 2020.
Last Monday, a Maris survey showing Biden losing significant support among Black voters in Pennsylvania, a state he narrowly won in 2020. In 2020, 92 percent of Black people supported him, while only 7 percent chose Trump.
In Wednesday’s poll, 68 percent of Black voters indicated they were supporting or leaning toward Biden in the November election, while 23 percent said they were supporting Trump. The poll was conducted on June 3-6 among 1,277 Pennsylvania people.
Last month, Biden held a rally in Philadelphia to kick off a new campaign to recruit Black votes. There, he thanked Black people for electing him to the White House in 2020 and went over a litany of policy accomplishments that he said enhanced the lives of Black Americans.
He informed them that Trump was “pandering and peddling lies and stereotypes for your vote, so he can win for himself, not you.”
Biden launches video Ad campaign
The most recent Fox News survey showed Biden with 72% support among Black voters. That’s up from 66% in February, but still down from 79% before the 2020 election. Among all voters, Trump has a slim advantage over Biden.
Meanwhile, the Biden campaign unveiled a new video Monday morning as part of a $50 million ad blitz ahead of the first presidential debate later this month, emphasizing former President Trump’s conviction and asserting that “character” is the key dynamic of the 2024 presidential contest.
The new ad, titled “Character Matters,” highlights the decision in New York v. Trump, in which a jury convicted the former president and presumptive Republican nominee guilty of all 34 counts of first-degree falsifying company records. Trump pled not guilty to the charges and promised to appeal the verdict.
“This election is between a convicted criminal who is only looking out for himself, and a president who is fighting for your family,” the ad says, highlighting Trump’s legal challenges and claiming the president has been focusing on “lowering health care costs and making big corporations pay their fair share.”
The advertisement airs ahead of next week’s first presidential debate on June 27.
The advertisement is part of the Biden campaign’s June $50 million paid media blitz. According to the campaign, the commercial will air on general market television and Connected TV in all battleground states, as well as national cable.

Democrats Now Leaderless After Trump Presidential Win
Democrats spent billions of dollars with the legacy media to try and create fear among American voters that Donald Trump posed an imminent threat to democracy; in the end, voters didn’t care. They chose to believe their own eyes and not the rhetoric.
Following Kamala Harris’ decisive loss, the Democrats are now entering a second Trump presidency without a clear leader, a clear plan, or an accord on the reasons for their significant miscalculations in the 2024 election.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent and former Democratic primary candidate, had warned Harris before Election Day that she was focusing too much on flipping Republican votes and not enough on pocketbook issues. He issued a statement excoriating party leadership.
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” he said. “First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”
Trump’s promises to impose tariffs on both allies and foes and his threats to American businesses contemplating the relocation of jobs offshore were alluring to union workers.
Alexandra Rojas, the executive director of the far-left Justice Democrats, told AP that the party’s leadership must “accept responsibility for that a second”Donald Trump presidency was once again feasible under their supervision.”
Rojas charged that the Democratic Party is los”ng legitimacy among the everyday people and marginalized communities, who are continuously used as stepping stones to win elections. She also acknowledged that “there are no easy answers for where we as a coun”ry and movement go from here.”
The data indicates that Democrats have” substantial work to do.
Faiz Shakir, the Democratic strategist who oversaw Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, is concerned that Sanders’s Democratic Party will fail to engage in the necessary introspection after this catastrophic defeat.
He asserted that “a healthy party is challenging itself to conduct”that type of autopsy and hear what we did wrong.” “I am not even aware that such a process will occur. He asks, “Will the Democratic Party’s well-paid consultant and big-money interParty learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?”
“Will they comprehend the political alienation and pain that tens of millions of Americans are currently experiencing?” Do they have any suggestions for how we can confront the Oligarchy, which is gaining economic and political influence at an accelerated pace? It is unlikely, he said.

Kamala Concession Speech Trends on Google
One day after former President Donald Trump’s historic re-election, Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the presidential race and vowed to maintain unity. Her concession speech trended on Google with over 5 million searches.
“I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign, but I do concede this election.” She stated, “In our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party, but to the Constitution of the United States.”
Kamala Harris acknowledged that there was no viable strategy for obtaining the presidency even though her speech was not what she intended.
In the center of Washington, DC, Harris delivered a speech at her alma mater, Howard University. Harris expressed her gratitude to the hundreds of campaign workers and volunteers who worked assiduously on her campaign and to the tens of millions of voters who cast their votes for her.
Kamala Harris also stated that the country should unite for a peaceful power transfer despite the agony of losing.
She said, “We must acknowledge the outcomes of this election.” “I conversed with President-elect Trump earlier today and congratulated him on his victory.”
I also informed him that we would assist him and his team during his transition and participate in a peaceful transfer of power.
In the interim, Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a caustic statement regarding the presidential election results, accusing the Democratic Party of having “abandoned” working-class voters. It’s unsurprising that “a Democratic Party that has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.”
Sanders, who secured re-election last night, stated that the party’s white working-class voters were the first to quit and that it now appears that Latino and Black workers are following suit. “The American people are enraged and desire change despite the Democratic leadership’s defense of the status quo,” he stated. “And they’re right.”
Trump and Vance were also congratulated on their electoral victory by former President Obama, who ardently campaigned for Harris in the final stretch before Election Day. This was announced in a statement published today.
“This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues,” according to him. “But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won’t always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power.”

Despite All the Odds Donald Trump Elected 47th President
On Wednesday, Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States, a remarkable turnaround for a former president who refused to concede defeat four years ago.
Trump achieved the 270 electoral votes required to secure the presidency with a victory in Wisconsin. On Wednesday afternoon, he emerged victorious in Michigan, conquering the “blue wall” with Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris contacted President-Elect Trump to congratulate her and acknowledge his victory in the election. Shortly thereafter, Vice President Biden conversed with Trump to extend his congratulations and invitation to the White House.
Foreign leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also phoned Trump.
“I would like to express my gratitude to the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected as your 47th and 45th president,” Trump addressed a crowd of enthusiastic supporters in Florida before officially confirming their victory.
“Today, you demonstrated unprecedented attendance to secure a victory, and we have endured an immense amount of hardship together,” Trump said. This was truly exceptional, and we will repay you,” he added.
Upon his return to office, Trump will collaborate with a Senate that is now under Republican control, while the House’s governance remains uncertain.
Elon Musk’s Tesla, banks, cryptocurrencies, and the U.S. stock market all surged Wednesday as investors anticipated a smooth election and Trump’s return to the White House.
Trump has pledged to implement an agenda that prioritizes the substantial revamping of the federal government during his second term.
When Trump assumes office on January 20, he will face various challenges, such as global crises testing America’s influence abroad and heightened political polarization.
Trump has pledged to revolutionize nearly every facet of the American government. This encompasses the intention to initiate the most extensive deportation operation in the nation’s history, once more pursue a zero-sum approach to foreign policy, and increase the use of tariffs.
Upon his arrival in Washington in 2017, Trump was unfamiliar with the mechanisms of federal authority. Congress, the judiciary, and senior staff members who acted as guardrails impeded his agenda.
This time, Trump has declared that he will surround himself with allies who will execute his agenda without question and arrive with hundreds of proposed executive orders, legislative proposals, and in-depth policy papers.
