  • Barack Obama has urged Black men to support Kamala Harris, addressing concerns of low enthusiasm for her candidacy compared to his own past campaigns.
  • Obama's comments have sparked discussions about misogyny and the need for Black men to confront biases that may affect their voting decisions.
  • Kamala Harris has intensified her outreach to Black men with new economic proposals and visits to Black-owned businesses, aiming to boost support in key swing states.
  • Some Black men feel alienated by the Democratic Party, citing a lack of attention to their broader political and economic concerns beyond criminal justice reform.
