Show Notes

In the final days of the campaign, both Democrats and Republicans have put a heavy focus on Black male voters. The Pew Research Center reports, 47% of Black men are eligible to vote in the 2024 Election. Since 1994, Black men have voted at least 80% in favor of the Democratic presidential candidate. But a new NAACP Poll finds support among Black men for this year's Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, has dropped to 63%. Meanwhile, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is polling at 13% among Black men. Support for Trump rises to 26% if you only count Black male voters under the age of 50. Show host Rose Scott talks with a diverse panel of Black men about what issues are important to them this election season.
