In 2016, just 8% of black voters supported Donald Trump for President. Since then, the president has touted historically low African American unemployment as a reason he deserves the support of the African American community. To kick-start that support for his 2020 run, President Trump will launch the "Black Voices for Trump" coalition in Atlanta. #FoxNews
President Donald Trump delivers the opening remarks at the launch party for the “Black Voices for Trump” coalition at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
A board member of the new Black Voices for Trump Coalition appeared on “Fox & Friends” Friday, taking issue with the media’s effort to downplay President Trump’s contributions to the black community.
“What the president has done and is doing for our country, for the black community, is so underrated. It gets downplayed at every turn by the liberal media,” David Harris Jr. said, touting the new initiative of the Trump 2020 campaign.
“They don’t want to focus on any of his successes.”
Trump departed the White House on Friday to launch a new re-election campaign initiative in Atlanta that will focus on African-American voters. Harris Jr. said that he was “excited” to be a part of the coalition.
Harris Jr. said he recently had a conversation with his driver, a black man, while en route to the event and he asked about Trump’s contributions to the black community. The driver responded that he “had no idea" about the subject.
