Harris intensifies outreach to Black men with Obama, ‘All the Smoke’ and ‘huddle-ups’


Vice President Kamala Harris is launching a campaign effort to target Black men with new policy proposals and programming as Republicans make a play for this typically Democratic constituency. The “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men” includes forgivable loans for Black entrepreneurs, job training programs, and legalization of marijuana to provide access to wealth and jobs. Historically, Black men have voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates, but recent polling shows potential shifts in support towards Republicans, particularly among younger Black men. Former President Barack Obama called out tepid support among Black men for Harris during a recent event, sparking a conversation around Black men’s voting choices. The Trump campaign has also targeted Black men through events and messaging focused on prosperity and permanent jobs. Harris is focusing on increasing wealth through her outreach to Black men, countering Trump’s economic messaging. This effort has already won over Black groups that endorsed Trump in the past. Harris is engaging Black men through media interviews, town halls, and events with Black celebrities, influencers, and athletes. The goal is to increase voter turnout and support among Black men in key battleground states. Prominent figures like Magic Johnson are supporting Harris’ campaign efforts to mobilize Black male voters and highlight the differences in platforms between Harris and her opponents.
