Trump Claims Black Voters Support Him Due to Criminal Prosecutions

Former President Trump spoke at a Black Conservative Federation event in South Carolina, suggesting that Black voters support him due to his indictments and mug shot, and comparing his treatment to discrimination against minorities. He faces 91 felony charges in four cases. Trump criticized Biden, touted his record on pardons and criminal justice reform, and claimed that Black voters should prefer him over Obama. He also emphasized economic and public safety messages, and targeted illegal immigration. Despite his efforts, recent polling shows Biden leading among Black voters, but Trump's advisers see an opportunity, particularly with Black men.
