Having a Black male candidate on Trump's ticket could either attract Black votes or infuriate the black community, motivating them to vote against him

I've had political conversations with numerous Black men in Georgia who are disillusioned with Biden, particularly due to the current economic conditions. Soaring inflation and high interest rates have made it difficult to make ends meet. Despite salary increases, many Americans are struggling more now than they did before Biden assumed office.

Black women, however, for the most, hold a different view. Democrats have effectively portrayed Trump not only as a racist aiming to regress the progress of the black community but also as a misogynist who holds disdain for Black women. Moreover, opting for a Black male vice president instead of a black female vice president like Kamala Harris may evoke a sense of setback among black women. Historically, white Democrats have persuaded them that Black men pose the greatest threat to their success in America. This narrative traces back to the days of slavery. It is more probable that choosing a Black man for VP will mobilize a significant number of Black women to cast their votes against Trump.

Anti-black woman narrative, especially since it flies in the face of overwhelming support by black women for [b]Barack Obama[/b]. You think we should support Republicans like Clarence Thomas, who clearly doesn’t like black women, simply because [b]he’s[/b] black ? You surprise me. 🤨

@bijouxbroussard Indeed, Black women turned out to vote for Barack Obama. As you mentioned, there's a significant distinction between Black male Democrats and Republicans. It's undeniable that Kamala Harris being the first Black woman VP is a source of pride for many Black women as it marks a significant milestone. However, Byron Donalds, not only being a Republican but also marrying a white woman... that will certainly not help him get any black women votes, if he were Trump's running mate.
