Barack Obama's Call: Why Black Men Voting for Donald Trump Is Not Acceptable

Former U.S. President Barack Obama has expressed concern about the purported support of Black men for Donald Trump. During an unplanned visit to a campaign office of Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, a key state, Obama noted that he hadn't observed the same energy and willingness to participate as he did during his own campaign. This issue is particularly pronounced among the "Brothers," according to Obama. He stated that the support for Trump, who belittles women, is "unacceptable." Some are looking for excuses and justifications, which led Obama to express his disappointment. His effort for Harris is within the context of one of the tightest presidential races in recent decades, where undecided voters could tip the balance. Obama, who is among the most popular politicians of the Democratic Party, is attempting to intensify Harris' campaign shortly before the election in November. During a planned event in Pittsburgh, he aimed to make a compelling appeal to men and referred to the fact that the resistance to a female presidential candidate is untenable. He emphasized that women always stand by when the system fails, and questioned whether supporting a politician who despises women is truly an expression of strength. Kamala Harris, the daughter of a Black father and an Indian-American mother, could become the first woman to assume the U.S. presidency. In the decisive seven swing states, she is reportedly neck and neck with Trump. Recent polls suggest that Harris's support among Black voters, particularly Black men, lags behind the levels Joe Biden had in 2020.
