Longtime Black Democratic congressional leaders Reps. Maxine Waters and James Clyburn are troubled by the possibility that more Black voters could reelect President Donald Trump for a second term.
"I don't even know where any Blacks would be coming from that would be voting for Trump," Waters, D-Calif., said in a Friday interview with SiriusXM's Joe Madison. It just hurts me so bad to see Blacks talking about supporting Trump."
While Black Republican voters have always been around, Black voters, especially Black men, appear to be stepping closer to conservative principles. The stamp of approval from some famous, wealthy rappers, such as Ice Cube, Lil Wayne and 50 Cent, has pushed talk of Black conservatism and Black class priorities back into the national conversation.
Those individuals are only thinking about themselves and not the Black community as a whole, Waters and Clyburn, D-S.C., say. A vote for Trump would be a vote against themselves and their better interests, the politicians said in separate interviews over the weekend.
Trump has engaged in divisiveness and racial dog-whistling to the right wing and to white supremacists who are emboldened by his rhetoric, according to Waters.
It's imperative for Black voters to uplift former vice president Joe Biden and vote Democratic as they usually do, Waters said, if Trump is to be ousted from the White House.
But the hold that the Democratic Party has had over Black voters might be loosening, making it harder for Biden to grasp victory.
Black women are more likely than Black men to vote Democrat, according to the Pew Research Center. The gap between Black women and Black men identifying as Democrats in 2018 and 2019 was the widest to date.

They be old black democrat racists of the worst kind... still have the “hunting in a pack” tribal mentality.
Next thing you know she’ll be telling the state department to refuse to issue travel visas to Wakanda for known Trump supporters.
Bigotry confirmed.
Hahahaha - I may have to listen (1 hour only) to Joe Madison when this is over. Morning Joe as well ... (just to see Mika’s face)
Maxine “muddy” Waters.
LOVE THAT TRUTH!!
I’m waiting for your exodus maxine. You and yours are digging hard in your minority hole and can’t see out of it. Your hole needs to be relocated to a place more sympathetic to stupid .
She thinks she’s God? That’s a problem for a lot of these people, I imagine.
Maxine has made a lot of money by keeping her people “in line”. Unfortunately for her constituents, she has done such a lousy job for them that even she won’t live in her district.
I proudly donated to her Republican Opponent, Joe Collins III Max Maxine’s district is in ruins.
We’re going to be all about privatizing your district.
It ain’t a California rep. It’s MadMax.
Racist Maxine. Lives in her mansion outside of her poor district. Hypocrite!
He kinda looks like Michael Steele.
Say it ain’t so!
I wonder how many black men will be incentivised to vote for President Donald Trump, just to offend this spiteful old woman.
