Warnock says large numbers of Black men voting for Trump is ‘not going to happen’
Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) said he does not believe Black men will not show up for former President Trump in large numbers.
According to recent polling, Vice President Harris is polling behind President Biden among Black men. Warnock joined CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday morning to dispel concerns as Election Day nears.
“Let me tell you something this morning, Black men are not going to vote for Donald Trump in any significant numbers. There will be some. We’re not a monolith,” he said.
Warnock pointed to Trump’s past with Black men, including the Central Park Five and his felony conviction. He then highlighted Harris’s past as a prosecutor.
“Again, we’re not a monolith, but this, this idea that large numbers of Black men are going to vote for Donald Trump, it’s not going to happen,” Warnock said.
CNN’s Dana Bash noted that polling isn’t showing large numbers of Black men voting for Trump, but it may be significant in this tight of a race when some may sit out of the election altogether.
“I think that folks will recognize how much is really at stake in this moment, and that the choice really is not between voting and not voting. Not to vote is a vote,” Warnock said. “It pushes Donald Trump that much closer to the White House and that’s something that we cannot afford to happen.”
