He highlighted that the messaging from Harris\u200b and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz \u2064appears \u200bdisconnected from\u200d the concerns of American voters, in contrast to\u2062 the &#8220;America First&#8221; \u2062messaging of Donald Trump and his running mate, Senator J.D.

Charlamagne criticized the Democrats for focusing on \u2064geopolitical issues \u200drather than pressing domestic matters, which he believes makes \u200cthem seem out of touch\u2062 with\u200d the electorate. He \u200cunderscored the\u2062 resonance of Trump and Vance&#8217;s message,\u200c especially during\u2062 election season, and \u2062referenced public dissatisfaction with the Biden administration, particularly in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene when aid\u2064 was offered\u200c to Lebanon instead of focusing on American needs. \u2063Charlamagne&#8217;s reflections\u2062 suggest that the Democrats must recalibrate their approach to address what Americans care about most effectively.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the truth comes from unlikely sources.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cthagodworld.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lenard McKelvey<\/a>, a prominent black <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/developing-attorney-sidney-powell-weve-got-pictures-of-check-stubs-paid-to-people-to-ballot-harvest-audio\/\" title=\"DEVELOPING: Attorney Sidney Powell: We&#039;ve Got Pictures of Check Stubs Paid to People to Ballot Harvest (Audio)\">radio host<\/a> who calls himself &ldquo;Charlamagne Tha God,&rdquo; spent the spring and summer of 2020 urging then-candidate Joe Biden to select a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/harris-lauds-state-rep-shirley-weber-established-africana-studies-professor-as-newsoms-secretary-of-state-pick\/\" title=\"Harris Lauds State Rep.

Tim Walz of Minnesota lags far behind former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s always America First,&rdquo; the radio host said in a clip posted to the social media platform X.<\/p>\n<p>Charlamagne made that comment Monday on &ldquo;The Breakfast Club,&rdquo; a nationally-syndicated radio show of which he serves as co-host.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>By &ldquo;always America First,&rdquo; he meant that Trump and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jd-vance-urges-americans--26-second-clip-kamala-harris-60-minutes-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vance<\/a> talk about things happening in America, and their message resonates.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Harris and Walz cannot seem to find their footing when it comes to issues important to Americans.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They messed up in regards to messaging,&rdquo; Charlamagne said of the Democrats at the beginning of the clip. &ldquo;You&rsquo;ll listen to a lot of reporters, and they&rsquo;ll be talking to Trump or J.D. Vance, and they&rsquo;ll be talking to them about things that are happening right here in America, because it is an election season right here in America, so there&rsquo;s so many things that we care about here, so it&rsquo;s always America First.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, the co-host said, questions directed toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/campaign-damage-control-tim-walz-says-wants-radically-change-election-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walz<\/a> have a more &ldquo;geopolitical&rdquo; focus.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And I think a lot of times that makes them sound very out of touch,&rdquo; Charlamagne added.<\/p>\n<p>A fellow co-host then pointed out that Harris and Walz cannot control the questions they receive. Charlamagne did not disagree, but he also did not let them off the hook.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;When you hear the Vances and the Trumps talking about what&rsquo;s happening here at home and saying things like &lsquo;America First&rsquo; and &lsquo;Make America Great Again,&rsquo; that messaging sometimes resonates a lot more,&rdquo; Charlamagne said.<\/p>\n<p>He then corrected himself.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Not sometimes. It does resonate a lot more,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Charlamagne pointed to the outrage that ensued over the weekend when the Biden-Harris administration, in the wake of Hurricane Helene&rsquo;s devastation in western North Carolina and elsewhere, announced humanitarian aid for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/karine-jean-pierre-calls-peter-doocys-question-misinformation-ends-press-briefing-amid-heated-clash\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lebanon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They was like, &lsquo;Yo, what about us right here in North Carolina?&rsquo; So that &lsquo;America First&rsquo; messaging goes much farther, especially during election season,&rdquo; the co-host said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">NEW: Show host Charlamagne says Trump&rsquo;s &ldquo;America First&rdquo; messaging resonates with voters &ldquo;a lot&rdquo; more than the Harris campaign&rsquo;s messaging.<\/p>\n<p>America First messaging resonates with American voters?

In fact, he placed a demand on Biden, the consequences of which plague us to this day.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Joe, you got to hurry up and announce your black woman VP, so I can be enthused about voting for her because I will never be enthused about voting for you,&rdquo; the co-host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/rapper-charlamagne-tells-joe-biden-shut-eff-forever-latest-gaffe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> on &ldquo;The Breakfast Club&rdquo; in July 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Charlamagne approved of Harris primarily due to her skin color.

Lenard McKelvey, known as &#8220;Charlamagne Tha God,&#8221; is a well-known black radio host who advocated for Joe Biden to choose a black woman as his running mate during the spring and summer of 2020. As a result, he shares some accountability for the challenges faced by Vice President Kamala Harris. However, even Charlamagne now recognizes that the current 2024 Democratic ticket of Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz falls short compared to former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Republican Senator J.D. Vance from Ohio. On &#8220;The Breakfast Club,&#8221; a nationally-syndicated radio show where he co-hosts, Charlamagne remarked that Trump and Vance&#8217;s focus on American issues resonates more with voters than Harris and Walz&#8217;s approach. He criticized Democrats for their messaging strategy, noting that while Trump discusses domestic concerns relevant to voters during election season, questions directed at Walz often lean towards geopolitical topics, making them seem disconnected from everyday American issues. Charlamagne emphasized that Trump&#8217;s &#8220;America First&#8221; message has greater appeal among voters\u2014especially highlighted by recent criticism of the Biden-Harris administration&#8217;s response to Hurricane Helene in North Carolina while announcing aid for Lebanon.
