Maher and Smith Discuss Trump's Black Voter Support

Bill Maher and Stephen A. Smith discussed Donald Trump's increased support among Black voters in a recent episode of Maher's Club Random Podcast. They acknowledged that while many view Trump as racist, there's a perception among some Black voters that all white individuals may harbor similar sentiments privately. Maher noted that nearly 30% of Black men under 45 voted for Trump, almost double the percentage from 2020, indicating a significant shift. Voters seem to prioritize issues like the economy and immigration over concerns about Trump's rhetoric. Maher criticized Democrats for failing to address the core needs of these voters, suggesting that Trump's appeal lies in his ability to resonate on issues outside race. Smith echoed Maher's sentiments, emphasizing that Trump's language reflects a broader reality of white discourse, making it relatable to some Black voters.
