As CBS News reports, Scott, who is rumored to be a candidate for the vice presidential nomination from Trump, told reporters “There’s no doubt that African-American men are wide open for a political shift of partisan shift. If Black voters do two things: some stay home and some come to the Right, there is no way [Democrats can] fill the hole.”
Although a March poll from CBS News showed that Trump’s support from Black voters had increased to 23%, a poll from Pew Research released in May indicated that this figure is likely too high, even though Trump’s support among certain segments of Black voters has increased over the last four years. Even among Black men, their polling indicated that 20% of Black registered voters would vote for Trump if the election was held immediately. Despite this, 72% of Black voters said that Trump was a terrible president and 65% of Black voters believe he broke the law in an attempt to change the results of the 2020 election.
Tell that to Tim Scott and that Black roundtable trying to sell yall on mythical Black men rushing to the throne of Trumpism
