An Atlanta business owner foresaw a “historic and epic” turnout for the former president among one particular demographic as Stacey Abrams pulled a pair of victim cards to explain away the shift.

In the waning campaign days of the 2024 election cycle, the Democratic Party continued to expect voters to disregard reality in favor of their storytelling. Where sales pitches failed like the so-called “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men,” surrogates like the twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate were ready to come in and blame “sexism” and “racism.”
Combatting her arguments, Atlanta business owner Bruce LeVell, executive director of the National Diversity Coalition for Trump, joined “Fox & Friends First” Tuesday and said, “We’re talking about a failed person who ran for governor twice, who’s made herself very wealthy on the boogeyman, on her super PAC, so that’s Stacey. I wouldn’t expect her to say anything else.”
“Democrats have been playing the race game. We saw it…when President Trump came down the escalators [in 2015]. They’re using the big, bad boogeyman, and it’s not gonna work,” he continued.
During a Monday night appearance with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Abrams had said in response to arguments from Georgia pastor Jamal Bryant that misogyny was at play in the black community, “I know it’s a shock to everyone, but sexism remains real and a very pertinent issue.”
“But I want us to be really clear that [Vice President] Kamala Harris is doing very well with black men. Black men are the second strongest cohort of Democratic voters. What we’re seeing, though, is that she is showing them due respect by actually speaking to their issues, and those issues differ from other cohorts,” she continued without specifying that Harris’ last minute pitch included legalizing marijuana and offering $1 million forgivable loans.
“I’m not quite certain why there is this panic about black men voting. They vote. In fact, they vote more than their counterparts in any other community for Democrats,” added Abrams. “However, we do have to acknowledge that there is sexism, there is racism, there are challenges in our electorate, and that’s why it’s so important that Kamala Harris is going everywhere and talking to everyone.”
A survey from the New York Times/Siena College found that, when compared to then-former Vice President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the 2020 and 2016 races, Harris had only 78% of support among black voters compared to the 90% and 92% in the previous two presidential elections.
Among black men, she was only earning 70% support whereas Biden had brought in 85%.
For many years, LeVell contended, “Most, if not all, of the Democrat Party’s policies have been dismal and a failure in the black culture. That’s all black culture, not just black men…We’ve gotten better in society, but we all know that the majority of those failed policies, ‘come from the Democrat Party.’ This is a great awakening.”
To that end, he predicted black turnout for former President Donald Trump would be “historic and epic” as Fox News indicated that more than 1.5 million ballots had already been cast in Georgia as the first week of early voting broke records.
