Black and Hispanic Voters in Big Cities are Bailing on Biden and the Democrats, and Rightfully So
Donald Trump has transformed politics in America, and for the first time in a generation, the Democratic Party is no longer the party of the working class.
And Black and Hispanic Americans in major cities like Chicago and New York — communities plagued with crime and still dealing with the migrant crisis — are abandoning Joe Biden for Donald Trump.
So what happened?
For decades, Democratic politicians have taken the Black and Hispanic vote for granted. And why not; every election cycle they receive nearly 90% of the Black vote and 65% of the Hispanic vote — no matter how bad the conditions are in their communities. And the message to their loyal voting bloc is simple: your life is bad now, but it will be even worse under a Republican.
But this couldn’t be further from the truth. And in the last week, the Democrats have revealed how they really feel about their loyal base of voters — who they’ve neglected and abused for so long.
Last Thursday, after President Trump held a historic rally in the South Bronx in front of 25,000 people — a majority from the Black and Hispanic community who openly admitted to reporters covering the event that they vote Democratic — Gov. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y., went on CNN and called them “clowns.”
“I’ll tell you what won’t make a difference at all Jake and that’s for Donald Trump to be the ringleader and invite all his clowns to a place like the Bronx.”
That’s right. Hard working Americans who attended the Trump rally in the Bronx — mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, small business owners, retirees, senior citizens, restaurant workers, maids and landscapers — are nothing more than “clowns” in the eyes of their Democratic governor.
In early May during a speech in California, Hochul said that Black kids in the Bronx don’t even know what a “computer” is: “Right now, we have young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word computer is.
“They don’t know, they don’t know these things.”
How offensive.
And on Tuesday, during a bizarre press conference, senile actor Robert De Niro — who made an appearance in front of the New York City courthouse where the Trump trial is taking place on behalf of the Biden campaign, called Trump supporters “low lifes.“
That’s right.
Hard working Americans who support Trump — mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, small business owners, retirees, senior citizens, restaurant workers, maids, and landscapers — are low lifes in the eyes of Biden’s campaign surrogate and multi-millionaire Robert De Niro who has en estimated net worth of $500 million.
During the 2020 presidential campaign, Joe Biden went on a popular radio show and said if Black Americans are still trying to figure out who to vote for — him or Donald Trump —then they “ain’t Black.” “Well I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Again, how offensive.
Under Democratic leadership, Black and Hispanic Americans continue to suffer economically as gangs and violent criminals roam the streets terrorizing residents.
And while neighborhoods and schools fall apart and homelessness spikes, their Democratic leaders are allocating billions of dollars in support of illegal migrants to ensure that they have food, clothing and housing accommodations.
And even jobs.
In a recent survey, a New York Times/Siena College poll found that only 50% of Hispanics support Biden — representing a historic low. And over the last three years, Biden’s support in the Hispanic community has dropped by 12 points.
And it’s not getting any better for Biden in the Black community as polls indicate a significant drop in support amongst Black Americans.
In 2020, 87% of Black men supported Biden over Trump, but recent polling indicates that only 57% would support Biden in November.
It’s no wonder Trump is leading Biden in national polls and in key swing state races – Black and Hispanic Americans are fed up with the Democrats.
And while politicians like Biden and Hochul, and Biden campaign surrogates belittle and demean Democratic voters and Trump supporters in broad daylight, the Republican Party is expanding.
Donald Trump is transforming politics in America. And it’s proving to be for the better.
