For decades now Democrats’ election prospects have largely depended on securing near universal support from minority voters.
They’ve clearly reached the point in which they’re taking those Americans for granted.
And Democrats are going berserk after this famous black actress just went scorched earth on Kamala Harris.
Blacks for Trump?
Both Republicans and Democrats have their core support of voters that they need to turn out to win elections.
Historical trends have largely indicated that Republicans can count on rural, working class voters, Democrats can count on urban and minority voters, and both parties ultimately end up fighting to secure the support of suburban voters to decide who wins the Presidency.
This is the exact math the Trump campaign is doing this election cycle.
Trump’s team is doing everything they can to turn out their core group of voters while always working to convince traditional Democrat voters to flip their votes – or simply stay home.
Now, the latest polling data has indicated that the former President and his team are starting to make inroads with an increasing number of black voters, who have generally voted Democrat for the past six decades.
Back in 2020, Trump was able to secure roughly 12% of the black vote, which was higher than any other Republican candidate in the 21st century.
And right now, the latest data indicates that Trump may still be gaining popularity amongst many black voters, as around 14-15% of black voters are signaling their support for him in recent polls.
But what should be Vice President Kamala Harris’ biggest warning sign that she may be losing some black voters to Trump is all the black celebrities and influencers who are voicing support for him.
The last thing Kamala wants to see
Amanda Seales is a prominent black actress known for her role in HBO’s Insecure.
And Seales put up a viral social media video that has Democrats in a complete panic.
In the video, Seales was very critical of Harris.
She told her fans, “When I met with Kamala Harris after she summoned me, I told her straight up, ‘You talk out two sides of your neck, and we don’t know what you’re talking about.’ I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Kamala Harris who is trying to shut me the fuck up.”
If that wasn’t bad enough for Harris, Seales added that she personally told the Democrat Vice President that she was disingenuous.

A Democrat usually doesn’t get criticized like this by black Americans or celebrities, much less both at the same time.
If this trend holds, Democrats could be in for a shock come Election Day.
