Trump visits Detroit church in bid to court Black voters
SUMMARY
Donald Trump visited the 180 Church on the west side of Detroit, engaging with Black voters in a bid to gain support ahead of the election. Attending a community forum at this Black church, Trump reiterated his policies on the economy and border security, explaining how they benefit Black Americans. His speech, moderated by Rep. Byron Donalds, criticized the Biden administration on issues like crime and inflation, which have done little to assist the Black community. The event had a mixed turnout of supporters and curious residents. Trump’s outreach aims to shift the traditionally Democratic vote to Republican. Pastor Lorenzo Sewell praised Trump for his visit, contrasting it with former President Obama’s absence from similar communities.
