Exit Poll shows Puppet Harris Won 80% of the Black Vote - a drop of 10 percentage points compared w/2020 [s]Election of Corpse Biden
/From [HERE] Harris appears to have won 80 percent of the Black vote, according to an exit poll by The Associated Press.
But that’s a drop of 10 percentage points compared with 2020 when the current president, Joe Biden, won nine of 10 Black votes.
The beneficiary? Trump, who won 20 percent of the Black vote this time, according to the exit poll. He had won 13 percent of the community’s vote in 2020 and 8 percent in 2016 — which in itself was the highest level of support by Black voters for any Republican since George W Bush in 2000.
