With the US election only 17 days away, Kamala Harris is courting one demographic with particular fervor: Black male voters.
As new polls warn that Black voters – who have consistently voted for Democratic presidential candidates (at rates of at least 80% since 1994) – may be less enthusiastic about the Democratic party, Harris has released a new slate of policies specifically aimed at Black men. Her stated plans include increasing access to the cannabis industry and educational opportunities that would expand pathways to “good-paying jobs … [regardless of] a college degree”.
