Yes but no Republican has won more that 15% of the African American vote federally since 1960. If Donald Trump is actually able to make that 21% number materialise on election day, (and I highly doubt he will) it will be a catastrophe for the Democrats.

Trumps only hope is black voters, along with other reliable dem voting blocs stay home election day.

Thats why it is important to vote.

Of course he won't.

Almost one in four Black adults in the U.S. voting for a Republican, let alone Trump?

Even if that were a guaranteed lock-in today there is absolutely zero chance between now and November he doesn't alienate Black voters by cranking up the racism in pursuit of galvanizing his base and attacking Harris.
