Kamala Harris is SINKING in the polls with black male voters. As she pushes Barack Obama on the campaign trail to scold black voters into supporting her, she rolled out a new plan to try and BUY the black male vote with 20K and the promise to legalize pot. After decades of empty promises by Democrats, Black voters aren’t buying it.
ICYMI: Bruce Levell: Kamala Harris Tries To Buy Black Votes After Donald Trump Earned Them
• “Presidential candidate Kamala Harris is facing significant challenges in maintaining support among black voters, a key demographic that the Democrat Party has taken for granted for far too long.”
• “Poll after poll confirms that black voters are walking away from the Democrat Party at a rate we’ve never seen before.”
• “The latest New York Times/Siena poll reveals a major 12-point drop in support for Harris since 2020 among blacks. Her plummeting poll numbers are raising many questions within her party about her path forward, with The New York Times signaling that this drop in support is “large enough to imperil her chances of winning key battleground states.”
• “So what does Kamala do to win the support of black voters like myself?…[Kamala] rolled out a plan full of false promises and gimmicks. But we will not forget the decades of failed promises we’ve heard from Democrats.”
• “One of the things Kamala is promising black men is to provide $1 million of forgivable loans to black entrepreneurs. I find it offensive that she thinks she can buy our votes.”
• “Even more insulting is that her plan for black men also promises to legalize pot. We hear a lot about her time as a prosecutor, but we rarely hear about how she locked up black men with harsh sentences for possession of pot. Despite putting away more than 1,000 people for using the drug, she laughed in 2019 when she was asked if she had ever smoked the drug.”
• “These false promises, insults, and gimmicks won’t win over black voters. We want the same thing all Americans want. An economy that is prosperous and free of inflation. A secure border that keeps terrorists, drugs, and criminals out of our communities. Over the past four years, Kamala hasn’t delivered.”
• “Under President Trump, the economic growth within the Black community grew significantly; from 2016 to 2019, Black median weekly earnings rose by 4.1%, and real median income grew by 7.9%.”
• “Poverty rates for Black Americans also hit record lows under President Trump- progress that under Biden-Harris was reversed. These price increases have made it hard for every American, regardless of skin color, to make ends meet. We simply cannot afford four more years of record inflation.”
• “For decades now, Democrats have proven their promises are hollow and taken our votes for granted. We are ready for a change.”

Trump Campaign Memo: Harris’ Sunday Mobilization Effort Falls Way Short in North Carolina & Georgia

SUBJ: Harris’ Sunday mobilization effort falls way short in North Carolina & Georgia
DATE: October 28, 2024
The biggest and most important turnout day for the Harris campaign during North Carolina and Georgia early voting has come and gone with minimal impact on the electorate.
In North Carolina, Republicans maintain a roughly 1-point lead in combined mail and early votes cast after the Harris campaign’s Sunday voter mobilization effort, often referred to by Democrats as their “Souls to the Polls” program. This get-out-the-vote push is historically the single largest mobilization day for Democrats during the entire early voting period.
Republicans took the lead last week for the first time in the history of North Carolina early voting and continue to hold that lead as of today. At this point in 2020, Democrats led the mail and early vote by about ten points. In 2022, they led by about eight points.
In Georgia, turnout for this past Sunday’s voting was 15 percent lower than the first Sunday of early voting, an ominous sign for Harris’ ground game efforts. Furthermore, public polling indicates Harris continues to struggle with African-American voters while President Trump is set to shatter decades-old records for his share of their support.
After Sunday’s voting, African-American voters in Georgia presently make up just 26 percent of the mail and early votes cast in Georgia. At this point in 2020, they made up 29 percent of the vote, and at this point in 2022 they made up 30 percent.

Tim Walz Needs To Apologize
“Kamala Harris’ campaign is copying Hillary Clinton’s strategy of attacking half the country. Tim Walz needs to apologize for his disgraceful comments smearing Trump supporters. This kind of rhetoric has already inspired assassination attempts.”

ICYMI: ‘Donald Trump unveils new tax break for family caregivers at Madison Square Garden rally’
New York Post: Former President Donald Trump revealed a new tax break policy aimed at family caregivers at the start of his address to a packed Madison Square Garden Sunday night.
“I’m announcing a new policy today that I will support a tax credit for family caregivers who take care of a parent or a loved one,” the 45th president announced to some 20,000 supporters.
Trump added it’s time to “recognize” these workers after his campaign previously pledged to step up for seniors and the family members who care for them.
