Kamala Harris tour to target black male voters

Kamala Harris has been dispatched on the campaign trail to convince black men that they are better off under Joe Biden amid fears they are abandoning the Democrats.

The vice-president’s multi-state “economic opportunity tour” kicks off in the critical battleground of Georgia on Monday and heads to Michigan next week.

Her office said Ms Harris will highlight the administration’s commitment to “underserved entrepreneurs”, and how the White House’s economic policies have created “a small business boom”.

A White House official privately indicated a major focus of the tour will be engaging black men, with polls suggesting they have become disillusioned with Mr Biden amid a surge in the cost of living and illegal immigration.

Ms Harris arrives in Georgia on Monday afternoon for a moderated conversation with Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings, a podcasting duo who focus on increasing financial literacy in black communities.

She will also highlight a $158 million (£125 million) federal grant that will reconnect black communities that have been cut off by Atlanta’s major highways to the city’s centre.

Mr Biden pulled off a surprise victory in Georgia in 2020, with high turnout among African American voters helping him turn the southern state blue for the first time since Bill Clinton in 1992.

[Drew68]

Don't black men pretty much loath Kamala Harris?

Then again, doesn't everyone?

[17th Miss Regt]

A mattress sale, huh?

[Restless]

So, she’ll be campaigning on her knees?

[metmom]

Does someone actually think that she’s going to be able to influence black, male voters????

[mass55th]

All those black male voters know she got where she is via her knees.

[dfwgator]

She sat on Willie Brown’s staff.

“She will also highlight a $158 million (£125 million) federal grant that will reconnect black communities that have been cut off by Atlanta’s major highways to the city’s centre.”

Political bribery. No wonder we are in such trouble.
