Black folks aren’t monolithic, we do have different opinions (even bad ones) that vary from person to person.

89% voted for Hillary in 2016. 87% voted for Biden in 2020. If that number holds up or is anywhere near accurate, Kamala is done. Doesn't matter who you are, if your wallet hurts, and if it felt like you were better off before 2020, you may vote for the other guy. That will ultimately be the biggest hurdle to overcome for Kamala. If you were financially better off b4 2020, you may see her as part of the problem. Even if the candidate was Shapiro or Whitmer, they'd still have the same issue. People don't understand the nuances of economics. They just blame the people in the office. Even if Trump rode Obama's economy for 4 years and ruined it with his own policies, people may not see it or understand that.

What's even more disturbing is the women voters' numbers. Roe vs. Wade got overturned, and a woman's body autonomy got taken away, yet he gained even with women.
