Former President Donald Trump has made significant in-roads with the Black and Latino communities, as well as young voters, all of whom are seeing significant shifts away from their traditional Democratic Party home. If Biden cannot turn the tide, his path to victory in 2024 becomes much more narrow \u2014 and in some crucial swing states, almost impossible. In this series, Base Jumpers, the <\/em>Washington Examiner<em> looks at each of those three bases in detail. Piece one is about Trump\u2019s efforts to court black voters ahead of the 2024 general election. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> is ramping up his efforts to pull black voters away from President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> ahead of their 2024 general election rematch.<\/p>\n<p>Biden won more than 90% of black voters overall in 2020 and 87% of black voters in battleground states, but a string\u00a0of recent polls have indicated the president has lost noticeable ground with the demographic since entering office over concerns about his age and performance thus far in office.<\/p>\n<p>Polls conducted by CBS, the <em>Economist<\/em>, <em>New York Times<\/em>, and <em>Yahoo<\/em> over the past month all show Trump now pulling double-digit support among black voters, while Biden now earns as low as 66% support in those data sets.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, a poll published last week by\u00a0the National Black Women\u2019s Reproductive Justice Agenda, found that just 38% of black voters under 30 years old were \u201calmost certain\u201d that they would vote at all in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>November<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Biden and Democrats still hold a significant advantage over black voters overall. However, a dip in their 2020 margins could spell disaster in any number of battleground states, and the Trump campaign and allies told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> the former president\u00a0is taking a number of steps to blanket black voters before the races fully heat up this summer, with plans to increase their outreach as the campaign winds toward November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are more than 100 polls showing President Trump crushing Joe Biden, including recent polling that has him leading in every key battleground state and winning independents by double digits,\u201d Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the W<em>ashington Examiner. \u201c<\/em>Joe Biden no longer has a base as key <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Democrat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Democrat<\/a> constituencies such as African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and women are supporting President Trump because they are sick and tired of Crooked Joe\u2019s record-high inflation, open borders, crime and chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s campaign officially integrated with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/rnc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Republican National Committee<\/a> in March after the former president cleared the delegate count to earn the GOP nomination, and officials say they plan to quickly roll out a number of new programs targeting black voters in the coming days and weeks. This comes after new RNC chairman Michael Whatley and co-chairwoman Lara Trump reversed the planned shuttering of the GOP\u2019s minority outreach programs in battleground states.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s campaign has allotted more than $30 million in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>television<\/a>, radio, and digital ads targeting minority\u00a0voters, and\u00a0though Trump is at a significant cash advantage compared to Biden, conservative groups supporting his 2024 campaign are also buying up ad space targeting black voters in battlegrounds.<\/p>\n<p>That includes a new, roughly $100,000 campaign from MAGA Inc., a super PAC backing Trump\u2019s run, that will air over the first week of April in Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan, all critical battlegrounds.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/maga-inc\/lecture\">ad<\/a>, titled \u201cLecture,\u201d knocks Biden\u2019s immigration policies, the elevated costs of food and gas, and even Democrats\u2019 efforts to promote transgender rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe Biden is paying the rent for illegal immigrants in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Michigan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Michigan<\/a> while Americans struggle to afford groceries and gas. Joe Biden\u2019s radical agenda is going to be rejected on November 5 when voters elect Donald Trump and make America great again,\u201d MAGA Inc. spokesman Alex Pfeiffer told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has also specifically directed state GOP leaders to increase their outreach efforts to black voters, as detailed by Michigan GOP chairman Pete Hoekstra. He described a recent meeting at Mar-a-Lago with Trump where the former president asked him to explore inroads into the black community in Michigan\u2019s Wayne County, a traditional Democratic stronghold. <\/p>\n<p id=\"XQYNWD4BAVFRLGU7FTLHGLCJDQ\">\u201cThe president believes that there\u2019s a case to be made for reaching out to African American voters and to Hispanic voters, whether it\u2019s in Saginaw or going into Wayne County or Muskegon, anywhere across the state,\u201d Hoekstra told M Live. \u201cThis meeting was about, let\u2019s talk about southeast Michigan and creating relationships, and then make sure that we continue this dialogue over the next seven and a half months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the former president himself appears to potentially be taking a page out of Biden\u2019s own playbook as he zeroes in on a new running mate. After dumping former Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Mike-Pence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Mike Pence<\/a> from the ticket ahead of the 2024 GOP primary, Trump openly stated that he believes picking a female or minority running mate could boost his electoral odds. His short list reportedly includes Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Trump has been attacked for some of the ways he\u2019s talked about black voters straying from Biden, especially claims that his more than 90 federal indictments and ensuing mug shot make him more relatable to black men.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe thinks celebrating his mug shot, joking about his racist track record, and hawking knockoff sneakers that nobody would be caught dead wearing is his path to victory with Black voters,\u201d Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said. \u201cBut he\u2019s running headfirst into a dead end of racist stupidity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s repugnant, and it\u2019s\u00a0divisive to traffic in racist stereotypes.
