Trump won big with black men -- now he must convince them to be...

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : They present a robust framework to which Trump might align and expand.
50% : They also cared about Trump's leadership capabilities; black voters this cycle were twice as likely to describe Trump as a strong leader than in 2020, according to a report from the Associated Press.
46% : The follow-on effects of this blight are clear: Diminished family wealth, compromised family stability, lower education and professional outcomes and higher incarceration rates.
46% : Trump may never have uttered the words #BlackLivesMatter, but black votes certainly mattered last week.
43% : Some 21% of them voted for Trump, up 2% from 2020, with nearly one-third of black men under 45 rallying behind the once and future president.
41% : Of course, for many of the loudest talking heads -- writer Ta-Nehisi Coates or 1619 Project author Nikole Hannah-Jones -- any mention of accountability or consequence around black fatherhood is immediately drowned out by lectures on "structural racism" or "white supremacy."
38% : Having scored historic levels of black support (and confidence), Trump is positioned to tackle the most serious and unspoken crisis among African Americans: the lack of black fathers in their children's homes and lives.
34% : And only a leader as impervious to scrutiny as Trump is has the chutzpah to devise a solution.
27% : Today, Trump can, and must, make black fatherhood matter.
21% : Trump need not go at this alone: Initiatives such as the Black Fatherhood Podcast and the documentary "The Black Fatherhood Project" are already tackling this crisis head on.
