Kamala Is Desperate — And It Shows

October 14, 2024

Kamala knows she's in big trouble.

 

Kamala Harris is in full-blown desperation mode as she spends the waning days of the campaign attempting to stop the bleeding among voting blocs most traditionally aligned with Democrats.

 

Nowhere is that more evident than in her outreach to Black Americans — voters of whom Democrats have taken advantage for generations.

 

 

Kamala can do all the podcasts, targeted ads, and surrogate deployment she wants, but nothing can mask the devastation her policies have unleashed.

 

Here are the FACTS:

 

Black Americans were better off under President Trump.

  • Black unemployment hit record lows under President Trump.
    • Overall unemployment for Black Americans hit 5.3% in 2019, the lowest level recorded up to that point in time.
    • Unemployment for Black men hit a record low of 5.8% in 2019.
    • Unemployment for Black women hit a record low of 4.2% in 2019.

  • Black poverty reached a record low of 18.8% in 2019 — the lowest on record at the time.

  • More than one million more Black Americans were working in February 2020 than when President Trump first took office.

  • Black median household income increased by 8.2% between 2018 and 2019.

  • President Trump restored funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities — a permanent commitment of $250+ million annually.

  • President Trump's Opportunity Zones provided a $50 billion boost to revitalize low-income and minority communities.

  • President Trump signed the landmark First Step Act to reduce recidivisim and excessive sentencing.

Kamala has failed to deliver for Black Americans:

  • Black Americans have been burdened by higher prices and lower real wages under Kamala.
    • Inflation, which has cost the average American family $29,000+ paying for the increased cost of living under Kamala, disproportionately hurts Black households.
    • Wage gains for Black Americans under Kamala have slowed dramatically compared to other demographics.

  • Kamala's open border hits Black communities particularly hard.
  • Violent crime has surged under Kamala — particularly in Democrat-run cities across the country.

  • Pandemic-era school closures — which Kamala championed — disproportionately affected low-income and minority students.
    • Reading scores among Black students dropped by seven points; math scores among dropped by 13 points — the largest decline in many decades.

President Trump will continue to build opportunity and prosperity for all Americans in his second term:

  • President Trump will end the inflation crisis, of which Black Americans have borne the brunt.

  • President Trump will seal the border and stop the migrant invasion.

  • President Trump's "NO TAX ON TIPS" proposal will end taxation of tipped wages — a boon for the 50% of food service workers who are minorities.

  • President Trump will pursue school choicesupported by more than three-quarters of Black Americans.

  • President Trump will provide additional tools for economic empowerment among Black Americans, including support for Black-owned small businesses, job training, and health care.

  • President Trump will prioritize homeownership and neighborhood revitalization among Black Americans.
