Michael 'Harry-O' Harris recently made headlines by endorsing former President Trump over VP Kamala Harris, citing Trump's track record and specific initiatives that align with his organization's goals. Harris highlighted policies such as permanent funding for HBCUs, opportunity zones, the First Step Act, and legislation combating sickle cell anemia as reasons for his endorsement.
Recent polls indicate Trump's increasing support within the Black community, with many trusting his ability to deliver on promises. Harris expressed disappointment in the lack of tangible progress from the Biden-Harris administration, stating that there has been little done to elevate the Black community.
Despite his endorsement of Trump, Harris challenged both candidates to address real issues affecting the community. He emphasized the importance of practical solutions over empty promises, pointing out the economic challenges faced by many in the Black community.
Harris also shared his personal experience of being granted clemency by Trump after serving 33 years in prison. He described the life-changing impact of the pardon and highlighted Trump's encouragement for him to succeed upon his release.
In a recent announcement, Harris unveiled the 'O-Plan,' outlining policy proposals aimed at promoting economic self-sufficiency and homeownership, as well as fostering financial literacy and entrepreneurship education. Trump publicly acknowledged Harris's efforts to support Black Americans and build on his administration's initiatives.
