Former President Barack Obama warned supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday that not enough black voters, especially “brothers,” are backing her as a presidential candidate.
The warning suggests that Democratic leaders are panicking over Harris' declining support among black voters.
Only 84 percent of black voters say so. would vote According to a Sept. 30 Pew Research poll, 13% said they would vote for Trump, compared to 13% who said they would vote for Harris. Harris' approval rating among the public is down 8 points from 2020, when President Joe Biden won 92% of the vote.

“We still haven't seen the kind of vibrancy and turnout that we saw when I was running for office in every aspect of our neighborhoods and communities,” Obama told Harris supporters.
“Now, I would also say that it seems to be more pronounced in the brothers,” President Obama said. “So, if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to you for just a moment. When you have such clear choices, on the one hand you have people who have grown up.” I went to college with you and understand the struggles, pain, and joy that come with those experiences. ”
“She had to work harder, accomplish more, overcome more, and earn the second-highest position in the country,” President Obama said of Harris.
Black voters appear to be moving away from the Democratic Party. From 2018 to 2022, the Republican share of the black vote will be 9 percent to 13 percent.
The move toward the Republican Party shows that political parties have been realigning since Trump entered politics in 2016 and advocated a citizen-first policy.

Vance does the same thing: housing, health care, education, paying the bills, etc. , their only answer is to blame immigrants, no matter what the problem is,'' President Obama said. “By the way, they want you to believe that if Donald Trump just grabs whoever he wants and sends him out, all his problems will be solved.”
Many polls show that the public wants to welcome some immigrants. But polls also show deep and widespread public opposition to labor migration and the influx of temporary contract workers into jobs needed by American taxpayer families.
