Are Black voters abandoning President Biden?

A recent Pew poll shows that Black voters support President Biden over former President Trump in the 2024 election by a wide margin, but not as wide as four years ago. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, host Bill Nigut and special co-host, Tamar Hallerman, are joined by AJC enterprise reporter Ernie Suggs for a discussion of the complicated choices Black men are facing as they decide on voting in the race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Ernie also shares insights from his interview with Morehouse College president David Thomas, who worked to navigate the controversy around President Biden’s visit to Morehouse as graduation speaker.   Also on today’s podcast, Professor Gillespie offers insights about whether the Trump guilty verdict in the Manhattan hush money trial is moving voters away from the former president.   And later, GOP candidate Chuck Hand, who is in a runoff for the GOP 2nd congressional district nomination, walks off the stage moments into the debate with his opponent Wayne Johnson. Bill and Tamar explain why.   Links to today’s topics Morehouse president on Biden visit: It made us stronger Pew poll of Black voters New CBS poll has Biden making incremental gains since Trump verdict January 6 rioter walks off stage in GOP 2nd district congressional debate   Have a question for the show?
