(TheConservativeTimes.org) – Kamala Harris, Vice President and Democrat presidential nominee, has laid out how her economic proposals could specifically help young black men.
This has been a focus of the Harris campaign since polls have been showing that former president Donald Trump is gaining ground with young black male voters.
In response to a question posed regarding this, Harris responded, “I think it’s very important to not operate from the assumption that Black men are in anybody’s pocket.” She continued, “I’m working to earn the vote, not assuming I’m going to have it because I am Black.”
A new poll by the civil rights group the NAACP found that more than a quarter of black men under fifty years old support Donald Trump over Kamala Harris. Harris has focused on an economic argument to win over black voters as she promises an “economic opportunity tour focused on Black men.”
She also spoke about getting more funds to help access startup capital, which she says is the issue with many entrepreneurs.
“We have so many entrepreneurs in the community who do not have access to capital, but they’ve got great ideas, an incredible work ethic, the ambition, the aspiration, the dream … but don’t have the relationships, necessarily” to get the financing needed, she said.
She mentioned policy proposals like a fifty thousand dollar small business tax deduction and even the elimination of medical debt from credit scores to make it easier to get finances for building a business.
This could really be what helps to bring young black male voters to vote Democrat instead of leaning towards voting for Donald Trump.
