As Election Day approaches, the campaigns are putting significant time and attention toward courting Black men, seen as a crucial — and potentially movable — voting bloc in a tight presidential race.
However, that number drops to 68% for Black men under 50, compared to 21% who support Trump.
“It’s very important to not operate from the assumption that Black men are in anybody’s pocket,” she said during an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists in September.
For Trump’s part, efforts to reach Black men voters through campaign surrogates or Trump himself have lessened in recent months.
Bartell also pointed to Kevin Cooper, a Black man on death row for killing a white family, as well as marijuana convictions of Black men.
