Sep 3, 20203:50Now PlayingThere's little chance Trump will win over the majority of Black and Latino voters as he seeks reelection. His prospects of attracting people of color were slim even before Biden tapped California Senator Kamala Harris to be his running mate. Harris’s status as the first Black woman and first Asian American to be on a major party’s presidential ticket is likely to excite an electorate hungry for more diverse faces in Washington. Yet Trump has always made the case that it’s Democrats who have taken Black and Hispanic Americans for granted while failing to deliver on the goals they have long promised: jobs that pay, schools that work, and a criminal justice system that’s fair. In 2016, Trump won 8% of Black voters and 28% of Hispanic voters, outdoing former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s performance among those groups in 2012. Support for Trump from minorities has been particularly high among young men and those without a college degree, says American University professor David Barker, who recently released a study on Black voters. The Trump campaign is betting that this year he can gain even more traction.
