Trump has a big opportunity to win a lot of black votes in 2020

After two years of being called a racist every day by the national media and putting forth only the mildest effort to gain black support during the 2016 election, President Trump still earned roughly the same amount of black votes any Republican would have. But what are Democrats going to do if, this time around, he actually puts his back into it?

Some important liberals have already noticed that it might be happening.

“When Trump launched ‘Black Voices for Trump’ at an event in Atlanta in November, I gasped, ‘Lawd, Jesus!’” Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart wrote last month. “Politically, it’s a smart move on Trump’s part.”

Following Trump’s State of the Union address this month, CNN’s Van Jones said, “What [Trump] was saying to African Americans can be effective. You may not like it, but he mentioned [historically black colleges and universities]. … He threw a lifeline to them in real life in his budget.”
