As Trump continues to make strides in garnering support from black voters, a pilot program for a voter advocacy group in Milwaukee highlighted the lukewarm enthusiasm for Biden among black men. One interviewee, barber Rome Simmons, humorously referred to Biden as “Sleepy Joe,” while another, Lorenzo Davis, expressed his intent to vote for Trump due to his focus on American-made products and business initiatives.

In response to Trump’s increasing appeal and Biden’s waning support among black voters, it is evident that the political landscape is evolving. Stay tuned to Breitbart News for further updates and analysis on this developing trend.
