    It’s becoming clearer that Kamala has a very good shot at winning

    The democrats have historically relied on the black vote to win and kamala doesn’t have it. In the lead up to the 2020 primaries she had a projected 1% of the black vote. Whats changed? This could be an election with record low turn out

      Does Trump have the Black vote though? I know conservatives like to make a lot of noise how “all the Blacks and Hispanics are moving right!” but I don’t really think that’s true. Sure, Trump might have more of the Black vote than in 2016/2020, but that’s probably still far from a majority.

      Kamala had none of the Black vote in a primary where you had Bernie (an actually good candidate by USA standards), Biden (running on Obama nostalgia) and that whole massively crowded primary field. This is a presidential election and her opponent is Trump, I’m doubtful that it’s still true that she is floundering when it comes to the Black vote.
