Why Black men could be key to Harris' swing-state chances
Briefly

Former President Barack Obama criticized Black men for not supporting Kamala Harris, suggesting they were making "excuses" for their lack of political engagement, as discontent with the economy and Democratic policies grows among them.
The GOP's strategy to attract Black men involves negative campaigning against Kamala Harris, asserting her past as a prosecutor led to the incarceration of thousands of Black men, feeding into long-held grievances about justice system inequities.
Kamala Harris attended an interview in Detroit where she addressed claims about her prosecutorial record and rumors of disputes with Janet Jackson, refuting both claims and underscoring her commitment to addressing the concerns of Black voters.
Pew Research indicates Black men represent under 7% of eligible U.S. voters in 2024, but their political allegiance is shifting, with significant increases in Republican support raising concerns for Democrats.
