How can former President Donald Trump electrify the campaign trail, turbocharge his reelection prospects, and nauseate the Democrats? Stage “Make America Great Again” rallies in the ‘hood.
Atop his usual Republican-leaning venues, the former president should hold his signature mass meetings in the Black neighborhoods of such swing-state cities as Atlanta, Cleveland, Detroit, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Richmond, Virginia. Mr. Trump would capitalize on one of the 2024 campaign’s most intriguing trends: the former president’s rising popularity among Black voters.
Reuters/Ipsos discovered in July that 18% of Blacks favor Mr. Trump versus 46% for Mr. Biden. A late August Economist/YouGov study pegged Trump at 20% among black registered voters compared to 62% for Mr. Biden. • Real median income for Blacks grew from $39,490 in 2016, under President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, to $45,438 in 2019, during the Trump-Pence administration — up 15%.
Mr. Trump arranged a steady stream of taxpayer support for historically Black colleges and universities. He extended Pell Grants to summer school students. HBCU presidents begged Obama-Biden for this small reform and got nowhere. Mr. Trump delivered.
