The US black electorate is tired of Biden
What if Trump was making inroads among the black electorate in the USA, the one most courted by Biden? In reality, many black voters are afraid to show their political positions, but others are becoming louder and prouder in expressing their support for former President Donald Trump, as well described by The Epoch Times .
For example, Mark Fisher, co-founder of a Black Lives Matter (BLM) group in Rhode Island, recently made headlines for his support for the former president.

“I knew I would pay a price for this,” Fisher told The Epoch Times, “but I felt the benefit of doing so far outweighed the cost of playing it safe.” Fisher said he felt compelled to "pave the way" for those who think like him, even though he and citizens of color like him are still perceived as renegades by the movement.
For generations, Black leaders and churches have encouraged Black people to vote for Democrats, including President Joe Biden, but the tide appears to be changing. Polls show that more and more people of color are willing to break ranks, as Mr. Fisher has done.
Since President Trump's victory in 2016, black support for him has more than tripled, topping 20% in some polls.
Polls suggest that people of color and other minorities who once disliked President Trump now appear willing to take a fresh look at his candidacy, a trend that could help make the difference between victory and defeat in the US election. 2024.
Americans continue to feel the brunt of the very declining economic conditions under President Biden. Almost everyone, regardless of skin color, feels the brunt of rising prices for food, gasoline, homes and other basic necessities; for months, polls have shown that the vast majority of citizens disapprove of the president's economic policies, nicknamed "Bidenomics".
Not only that: Trump's judicial persecution has made him more sympathetic to black minorities who also feel discriminated against by the judicial system. They also warn that justice, in an increasingly violent country, deals less with violent crimes and too much with the supposed pranks of the former president.
However, the trend is reversing and many influential people in the black community are taking a stand in favor of the former president. Last fall, black rapper Waka Flocka Flame posted a profile photo of himself next to President Trump on X, formerly Twitter. Separately, he posted: “TRUMP2024.”
The photo attracted at least 13.5 million views. It also sparked controversy for the rapper, who had made derogatory comments about the former president in the past.
Looking for a third candidate
Marv Neal, a 52-year-old black radio host agrees that people of color dislike President Biden's policies and are very reluctant to vote for him, but concludes that, in reality, many are tired of both candidates.
This impression matches the results of a new GenForward poll that reported on December 12 that about 20 to 25 percent of most minorities would vote for "someone other" than President Trump or President Biden if the election had been held. last November . This gives a strong boost to independent candidates like Kennedy who, more than ever in this round, seem to be popular.
