Permalinkrecent remarks urging Black men to support Vice President Kamala
Harris in the upcoming election. During a campaign event for Harris in
Pittsburgh, Obama pointed out a noticeable decline in voter enthusiasm
compared to when he was running for office.
He specifically highlighted the lag in turnout among Black men,
stating, We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in
all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was
running, and noted the issue seemed to be more pronounced with the
brothers.
Obama further suggested that some Black men might be hesitant to
support a female candidate, implying they might be finding excuses
to avoid voting for Harris. Part of it makes me think that, well, you
just arent feeling the idea of having a woman as president, Obama
said, addressing men directly.
