**Disarray: Kamala Harris Faces Struggles with Black Voter Support**
It’s no secret that Kamala Harris’s support among Black voters is faltering ahead of the critical 2024 election.
Recent polling from Georgia indicates that she is underperforming significantly compared to her predecessor, President Joe Biden.
Mercedes Schlapp, former White House Director of Strategic Communications, revealed that Harris may be lagging by six points with Black women compared to Biden’s performance in 2020.
Even more concerning for the Harris campaign, approximately 15 percent of Black voters are currently backing former President Donald Trump—an increase from his support levels in the last election cycle.
This trend suggests a potential shift in voter allegiance that could prove detrimental to Harris’s chances.
In the Peach State, Black Americans make up a substantial 33 percent of the population, making their votes critical in the highly competitive race.
Polls have shown that while a majority of Black voters plan to vote for Harris, her support rests at only 78 percent, a drastic drop from Biden’s commanding 90 percent in 2020.
For Democrats, such statistics can be alarming, as they have traditionally relied on overwhelming support from Black Americans to secure victories in national elections.
Harris’s challenges seem to indicate a growing discontent among Black voters who feel the Democratic Party has taken their support for granted over the years.
Younger voters, in particular, are less committed to the Democratic Party, echoing sentiments of those in other demographics who are increasingly open to alternatives like Trump.
The Biden administration’s handling of various issues that matter to the Black community may also be exacerbating this shift.
Instead of addressing the concerns of Black Americans, the Democrats have tried to impose a sense of obligation to vote for them, which hasn’t resonated well.
In fact, attempts by high-profile Democrats, including Barack Obama, to pressure Black men into supporting Harris may have backfired.
As the election date approaches, the implications of Harris’s underperformance with Black voters could be critical for both her campaign and for the Democratic Party overall.
If these polling trends hold, they not only signal a potential resurgence for Trump but also a profound shift in the political landscape as more Black voters reassess their allegiance to the Democratic Party.
As Democrats struggle to keep their coalition intact, the GOP may be on the cusp of making serious inroads with voters they once took for granted.
