Polls\u2063 indicate that she is\u2063 underperforming among these demographics\u200d compared to past Democratic candidates. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/update-corrupted-software-that-stole-6000-votes-from-trump-in-michigan-county-shut-down-for-two-hours-in-red-counties-in-georgia-on-election-day\/\" title=\"Update: Corrupted Software that Stole 6,000 Votes From Trump in Michigan County -- Shut Down for TWO HOURS in Red Counties in Georgia on Election Day\">battleground states<\/a>\u200c like Pennsylvania and Michigan, which have sizable\u200d Black populations, Harris needs to increase her support to secure necessary \u200dvotes. Meanwhile, Latino voters in states like \u2064Arizona and Nevada are also crucial, yet her appeal to \u200dthem is weaker than expected.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts note that Harris is doing \u200dbetter\u200c than \u2063President Biden did with Black voters in 2024 but not reaching his 2020 levels. Her \u2064performance among Latino men is troubling, with polls showing her tied with Donald\u200b Trump, contrasting previous\u2063 significant\u200c Democratic leads in\u200b recent elections. Strategies to connect with these communities are urged,\u2064 including direct engagement \u200cwith Black men in Michigan, as many feel\u200b unmet by\u2064 political promises.<\/p>\n<p>The article\u200d also explores how Trump&#8217;s policies and persona could be drawing more minority support \u200cthis\u200c election\u2064 cycle, as he appeals to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-lose-hispanic-and-blue-collar-voters-at-same-time\/\" title=\"Democrats Lose Hispanic and Blue-Collar Voters at Same Time\">working-class concerns<\/a>, contrasting \u200bsharply\u200b with\u200c the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rfk-jr-proposes-3-percent-mortgages-says-corporations-make-housing-crisis-worse\/\" title=\"RFK Jr. suggests 3% mortgages, blames corporations for worsening housing crisis.\">economic struggles faced<\/a> under the current \u200badministration. As Harris strives to \u2063resonate with these voter groups,\u200b the stakes remain high, given Trump&#8217;s strategy to \u2062weaken her \u200bsupport rather\u2064 than to win these demographics outright.  <\/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\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris&rsquo;s &lsquo;weak&rsquo; support from minority men could cost her the White House<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1792825\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kamala Harris<\/a>&lsquo;s struggles to convince minority voters, particularly&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/african-americans\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">black<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/latinos\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Latino<\/a>&nbsp;men, to support her could cost the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a> the November election.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>In the blue-wall battleground states of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pennsylvania\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Pennsylvania<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/michigan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Michigan<\/a>, Harris&rsquo;s campaign depends on her driving up her vote margins in the predominantly black cities of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/philadelphia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Philadelphia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/detroit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Detroit<\/a>.

But at the moment, one month before Election Day, she is underperforming with both demographics.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Regarding black voters, she is doing much better than Biden was [in] 2024 but not quite his 2020 numbers,&rdquo; Marist Institute for Public Opinion director&nbsp;Lee&nbsp;Miringoff told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. &ldquo;Latinos are clearly a weak spot for her, hence the town hall.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Harris&rsquo;s town hall Thursday in Nevada with Spanish-language television network <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/univision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Univision<\/a>, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/polls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>polls<\/a> supervised by Miringoff underscore that Harris and former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump <\/a>are &ldquo;even&rdquo; among Latino voters, remarkable compared to previous elections.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a wider margin of error in Latino polling because of their smaller sample sizes, 2016 Democratic presidential nominee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hillary-clinton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Hillary Clinton<\/a> won the demographic over Trump 66%-28% and President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> repeated her success four years later 65%-32%, according to Miringoff.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the decrease in Democratic support among Latinos coincided with an increase in the party&rsquo;s acceptance of socialism, namely its warm embrace of Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/bernie-sanders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Bernie Sanders<\/a> (I-VT) and Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/alexandria-ocasio-cortez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> (D-NY).<\/p>\n<p>But Monmouth University Polling Institute director&nbsp;Patrick&nbsp;Murray also attributed the development to Trump&rsquo;s appeal to men more broadly.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Harris &mdash; and Biden before he dropped out of the race &mdash; is not doing as well as prior Democratic candidates among men under age 50 in these groups,&rdquo; Murray told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. &ldquo;They are more attracted to Trump&rsquo;s &lsquo;get tough&rsquo; persona this year than they were in 2020 or 2016.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While Harris is appealing to Latinos through her town hall, Michigan Democrats are imploring her to do the same to black men in their state before it is too late.<\/p>\n<p>Rev. Horace Sheffield, III., a&nbsp;black Michigan&nbsp;pastor and radio host, for one, encouraged Harris to bring together black men and ask them &ldquo;what they need&rdquo; her &ldquo;to do,&rdquo; not make empty promises.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They probably needed to get started a little earlier,&rdquo; Sheffield told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. &ldquo;If you want to reach some black men, Kamala Harris, call me up and let me put them in a room for you, small room, big room, large room. But you need to get in front of them and hear from them.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The practical repercussions of Trump&rsquo;s appeal to minority voters are that he is leading Harris in Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, on average, by less than 1 percentage point, according to <em>RealClearPolitics<\/em>, though Harris is ahead in Nevada by the same margin. In comparison to this time four and eight years ago, Clinton and Biden had comfortable leads over Trump in Michigan and Pennsylvania, though the former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/state-department\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>secretary of state<\/a> eventually lost them, and Biden was ahead in Nevada. Arizona was close throughout both elections.<\/p>\n<p>Republican strategist Cesar Conda contended Trump&rsquo;s appeal is not only because of the former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-taking-regeneron-drug-remdesivir-therapy-for-coronavirus-diagnosis-ex-wh-doctor-explains\/\" title=\"Trump taking Regeneron drug, Remdesivir therapy for coronavirus diagnosis: ex-WH doctor explains\">president&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s personality, but his policies. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Under former President Trump, black, Hispanic, and Asian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/unemployment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>unemployment<\/a> fell to record lows, real <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/wages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>wages<\/a> increased, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>inflation<\/a> was under control,&rdquo; Conda told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. &ldquo;Under Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden, minorities have experienced stagnating real wages and higher costs for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>groceries<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gas-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>gasoline<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/housing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>housing<\/a>.

As Vice President Kamala Harris makes her case to&nbsp;Latino&nbsp;voters today, we&rsquo;re making sure they have all of the information they need to access the ballot box at&nbsp;IWillVote.com&nbsp;and cast an informed vote for Democrats up and down the ballot.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Amid Harris&rsquo;s work to appeal to minority voters, Trump has one major advantage: Trump does not have to win the respective demographics; he only has to undermine her support.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, to mitigate Democrats&rsquo;s organizing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/fundraising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>fundraising<\/a> advantage, the Trump campaign and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republican-national-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Republican National Committee<\/a> have conducted traditional canvassing and phone banking, in addition to holding community events, from&nbsp;haircuts to Cafecito door launches and Spanish postcard writing nights.<\/p>\n<p>Harris&rsquo;s town hall is part of her new, more open media strategy that has created problems for her apart from her appearance on <em>The View<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Her <em>60 Minutes<\/em> interview, for instance, raised questions concerning the registration of her personal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>firearm<\/a>, a &ldquo;Glock,&rdquo;
