Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are both aiming to attract the support of Black voters.
  • Former President Trump has worked all year to bring in more Black support to his campaign.
  • But Kamala Harris' ascension as the Democratic presidential nominee has upended the 2024 calculus.
  • A Washington Post-Ipsos poll showed Harris making serious headway with Black voters of all stripes.

Former President Donald Trump in recent years has aimed to win over Black voters, who for decades have made up the Democratic Party's most reliable base of support.
