‘A Surge in Support from Black Voters’: Pete Seat on Trump’s Momentum in Pennsylvania

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Scott: “Going to Philadelphia to try to rally some support. Is that tilting at windmills for this former president? Or is he in a cause reverberations?”
SEAT: “I think he could make a lot of headway at this rally today because of where it is located. He won Pennsylvania by less than one percentage point in 2016. He lost it by less than one percentage point in 2020. What he has in 2024 that he did not have in 16 or 20 is a surge in support from black voters. We are seeing this across the country. The high water mark so far has been 23% support for black voters. No Republican presidential candidate has seen that since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This is because of the economy and inflation. And disappointment with the Democratic Party. The Democrat Party is playing to identity politics to generational loyalty. The expectation black voters are going to vote for them because they have always voted for them. We are seeing it play out that will not be the case in 2024.”
