Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) said he does not believe Black men will show up for former President Trump in large numbers.

According to recent polling, Vice President Harris is polling behind President Biden among Black men. Warnock joined CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday morning to dispel concerns as Election Day nears.

“Let me tell you something this morning, Black men are not going to vote for Donald Trump in any significant numbers. There will be some. We’re not a monolith,” he said.

Warnock pointed to Trump’s past with Black men, including the Central Park Five and his felony conviction. He then highlighted Harris’s past as a prosecutor. “Again, we’re not a monolith, but this, this idea that large numbers of Black men are going to vote for Donald Trump, it’s not going to happen,” Warnock said.

That is false disinformation pushed by winger pollsters and the trump campaign. What has been said is a narrow demographic of younger Black men are allegedly voting for trump, not Black men as a whole.

Stop spreading disinformation.

I just updated the OP!

They may have originally considered putting Harris' name in that sentence for the "does not believe...will not show up in large numbers for" and opted to focus on 45, and had to chance the negative.

That's interesting. I'm glad I'm not seeing things. I read it 4 or 5 times.



What do you think about the trumpers stranded @ Coachella? Fact or fiction?

I definitely believe it. The stories were many were expecting shuttle buses to take them out of there at the end but apparently either there were only a limited number (or none) and/or those who were stuck, missed the last ones out.

That's about the equivalent to being stuck in mud at Burning Man! They were SOL!

There is a record heatwave going on there too... That's climate change that they think is "a hoax".

perhaps there will be less of an effort to suppress votes in urban areas.

Lots of skewed/fake polls are being promoted now in order to set the stage for the expected trump challenge when he loses.

are gaining more black support and after every election the Democratic Party gets the same 90%. These polls are complete bullshit and use this for click bait or just to have a story line to sell.

Today "the narrative" went into full gear. And then when it's all over, they will claim that they didn't say any of it and their "polls" were spot on!!111!1!!!11!
