During a pre-campaign rally stop in Pittsburgh on Thursday, former President Barack Obama addressed the lack of support for Kamala Harris from the Black community, saying it’s not as strong as it was when he was running for office.

“We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” Obama began.

“Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. So if you don’t mind — just for a second, I’ve got to speak to y’all and say that when you have a choice that is this clean: When on the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you, went to college with you understands the struggles [and the] pain and joy that comes from those experiences…”

CJ Pearson, Co-Chair of the GOP Youth Advisory Council, responded to Obama, saying he’s voting for Donald Trump “and we don’t give a damn” about what the former president has to say.

Over at CNN, in-house GOP voice Scott Jennings said Obama and other Democratic Party elites have been attacking Trump since 2016 — and now, Obama is insulting Black voters.

Political consultant Diante Johnson responded to the Obama clip, saying Black men are “ready for change.”

“Let me tell you something—black men have had enough! Polling is showing it, and now even former President Barack Obama is admitting it—we are ready for a change. For decades, the Democratic Party has ignored the needs of black men, taking our votes for granted. But that ends on November 5th! Black men, this is our moment to send a powerful message to the Democratic Elites —we mean business! With only 26 days until Election Day, many states are already open for voting, so let’s get out there and fight for a better future for the next generation of men!”

Former DeKalb County, Georgia Executive Vernon Jones – a longtime Democrat who joined the GOP in 2021 – reacted on X by saying Obama was being dispatched by “White liberals” to “Blackman-splain” why fellow African-Americans should vote for Harris.

“No thanks, BO – Blacks had enough of you and Kamala Harris,” Jones said in part.
