Trump's supporters have proposed a strategy to win over black voters.

According to a report from NBC News, a group of Black conservatives has come together with a plan to help former President Donald Trump regain the White House in the 2024 election. This plan was revealed during the 2024 Black Conservative Federation gala, which was held in Columbia, South Carolina. Trump, who was in attendance at the gala, had a message for the crowd of Black conservatives: “Black people really like Trump.”

Trump believes that with the help of allies like Senator Tim Scott, Representative Byron Donalds, and his adviser Darrell Scott, he can secure a historic share of the Black vote for Republicans. Darrell Scott spoke about the coalition groups across the country that are working on initiatives to engage and reach out to Black voters. He also emphasized the importance of dispelling negative messages about Trump and building a network of supporters.

However, the official launch of this plan will not take place until Trump is announced as the Republican nominee. The main goal is to bring together conservative groups with strong influences in Black communities to focus on voter engagement. This is in response to what Darrell Scott refers to as “negative narratives” about Trump and his administration.

In contrast, the Biden-Harris 2024 campaign has labeled Trump as an “anti-Black tyrant.” But Trump, who has faced multiple indictments, agrees with Ohio-based pastor Darrell Scott that he can relate more to Black Americans because of how he has been treated by the court system. Trump stated, “And then I got indicted a second time…” and was met with mild clapping from the audience. He believes that this shared experience of discrimination and mistreatment has resonated with the Black community.

These remarks by Trump did not sit well with the Biden-Harris campaign. Michael Tyler, the Biden-Harris Communications Director, spoke out against Trump’s statements, stating that they are a clear reflection of how he views Black people. Tyler also pointed to Trump’s history of anti-Black rhetoric, including his involvement in the Central Park Five case and spreading conspiracies about former President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Despite Trump’s controversial comments and actions, some Black conservatives stand by him. Diante Johnson, the President of the Black Conservative Federation, stated that Black Americans are waking up to the reality that the Democratic Party has taken advantage of them. He believes that no amount of media deception or race-baiting will sway Black voters from supporting Trump in the upcoming election.

This sentiment is echoed in a January AP-NORC poll, which showed that only 42% of Black adults approve of how Biden is handling his role as president. However, Biden’s overall approval among Black adults was still higher than Trump’s in a December AP-NORC poll. It is clear that the Black vote will be a crucial factor in the 2024 election, and both parties are vying for the support of this community.
