Several Black male celebrities have announced their support for the Republican presidential nominee, former President Trump.
With only a few weeks until election day, the Harris campaign sees itself struggling with Black men as Trump is making gains with the group who are traditionally some of the Democratic Party's most reliable supporters.
According to a New York Times/Siena College poll released last week, Harris currently holds 78% of the Black vote, which is down from 2020, when President Biden won approximately 90% of that voting bloc. It's also down from 2016, when Hillary Clinton won approximately 92% of the Black vote. Harris' support among Black men has dropped even more significantly, according to the report: 70% said they would vote for Harris in November, down from Biden’s 85% in 2020.
Per an NCAAP survey, one in four Black men under 50 said they would support Trump in 2024.
While Harris has made numerous attempts to gain support from men and Black America, male commentators from radio host Charlamagne Tha God to comedic actor Eddie Griffin have warned that it may not work and that Trump himself has a unique appeal to Black men.
During this campaign, Trump has garnered the support of several notable Black male entertainers and athletes.
Lord Jamar One of the members of the hip-hop group Brand Nubian, Lord Jamar, recently came out supporting Trump in an interview.
Jamar, a rapper, producer, and actor from shows like "The Sopranos," slammed Harris and her supporters and applauded Trump’s leadership.
"This woman, to me, is not qualified to run, you know, a Dunkin' Donuts or a 7-Eleven, let alone the corporation that we call the United States of America," Jamar, a founding member of Brand Nubian, said in an interview with "The Art of Dialogue" last week.
