Vice President Kamala Harris will highlight her economic policies that benefit Black men in the coming week, including during a stop in Detroit less than a week after Donald Trump blasted the city's Black population and its economic struggles.
The Vice President's return to Michigan comes just days after former President Barack Obama joined the Harris/Walz campaign trail to energize Democrats, but specifically young Black men, to get out the vote to ensure their future.
According to a September poll by the NAACP, the nation's largest civil rights organization, over a quarter of young Black men say they would support Trump in the election race. By comparison, President Joe Biden got about 80% of the Black male vote in 2020.
Vice President Harris is expected to discuss better access to capital for Black entrepreneurs, ways to grow small businesses, and housing solutions, but will not touch on racial justice issues, sources told Reuters. The Vice President will explain how her broader economic package aimed at lowering costs will boost the middle class.
The Vice President will also sit down with rapper Charlamagne Tha God, a vocal critic of the Biden/Harris administration, on his popular IHeartRadio show.
It won't be the first time the rapper has tried it with the former prosecutor.
The Trump campaign has been targeting Black voters in battleground states by teaming up with (less famous) Black rappers, as well as through community events in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Nevada, but Black women still overwhelmingly prefer Kamala Harris by a staggering margin.
