Former Fox News polling expert destroys myth Trump will break record with Black voters
NewsNation host Chris Stirewalt rebutted the Trump campaign's claim that it could win 25% of the Black vote in the 2024 presidential election.
Stirewalt, a former Fox News contributor, made the remarks during a Sunday interview with former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson.
"I get frustrated because as a polling person, as a data person, if Donald Trump does as well with Black voters as he might in November, he'll only really be getting Republicans back to where they were under George Bush, or where they were a generation ago, to get back to 12% or 13% of African American voters," the polling expert told Carson.
"Do you see, in the Trump and Obama era, was rough on Republicans with Black voters?" he added.

"Well, the reason that a lot of people in the minority community are moving toward Trump is because he's not a traditional politician who just has his finger in the air seeing which way the wind is blowing," Carson responded.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), a leader of the Blacks for Trump group, has said that the former president aims for 25% of the Black vote.
