Black men helped power Biden’s 2020 Georgia win. Some are wavering.
==========

Black men played a crucial role in helping Joe Biden win Georgia in the 2020 election, but some are now undecided and considering voting for Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Rashad James and Justin Williams, who voted for Biden in 2020, are frustrated by the lack of change and economic struggles they continue to face. They believe Trump may be better at improving the economy. While the economy is doing well by traditional measures, pessimistic views of the economy are widespread among Black men. A Washington Post-Ipsos poll found that 63% of Black men were certain to vote this year, down from 68% in June 2020. Trump and his allies are targeting onetime Biden voters, aware that even a small shift among Black men in a state like Georgia could make a difference in the election outcome. The Biden campaign has invested heavily in boosting support among Black voters, but some Black men are disquieted by the influx of migrants at the southern border and the amount of money the administration has committed to stopping Russia's war in Ukraine. The MAGA Inc. super PAC backing Trump has been running ads claiming that Biden's policies have hurt Black Americans and that Trump would put Black America first. The Biden campaign has countered with ads referencing Trump's disrespectful language about Black Americans and his past discrimination against Black families. The views of Black men are fluctuating, and while there is no evidence yet of a significant realignment, it would be disastrous for Biden's campaign if a significant number of Black men defected to Trump.
