As Election Day approaches, both campaigns are ramping up efforts to woo one of the most sought-after voting blocs this cycle: Black Americans. As Donald Trump and the Republican Party continue to appeal to the typical Democratic electorate, Vice President Kamala Harris recently unveiled a series of new policy proposals called the “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men.”

According to a new Howard University poll, 82% of Black voters in battleground states say they will vote for Harris this November, while 12% say they will vote for Trump. Another 5% remain undecided. The poll found Trump's gains were most pronounced among black men under 50, with more than 20% planning to support the former president.

This week, Alex Wagner met with a group of black Trump supporters in the battleground state of Pennsylvania who call themselves the Black Republicans Club of Philadelphia.

“We are clearly voting for Donald Trump, period,” said one of the group’s members, Dr. Prince Johnakin, to Wagner. “Nobody else will convince us. We have two weeks and won’t sleep until November 6th.”

Natalie Garcia, another Trump supporter, explained why she supports the former president: “He's stronger and more strong-willed in some ways,” Garcia told Wagner. “He focuses on what we need to focus on. He doesn't act – that's what I respect about him. He only ever stands up for what he believes in and he doesn’t back down no matter how many people vilify him.”

Pastor Philip Fisher echoed Garcia's comments, telling Wagner, “(Trump) doesn't take any bullshit.”

“He won’t hear it,” Fisher said. “He is a businessman. He's not here for casual politics talk. We need someone strong. We need someone who will get to work and care about the needs of this country. But he also understands what the community needs.”

Another Trump voter, Amsar Butt, told Wagner that the Democratic Party takes minority voters for granted: “They think Republicans are so out of touch with what minorities need that (voters) have no choice.” I think this will be a big surprise (on Election Day).”

Robert Williams shared Butts's feelings about the Democratic Party. “A lot of people just walking down the street have no feeling for the Democrats,” he told Wagner.

“The black men who don’t vote for the Democrats, that’s not what Mr. Trump did, it’s (because) they were disappointed in (the Democrats),” he said. Williams, who did not describe himself as a Republican, told Wagner his vote for Trump was a vote for “the lesser of two evils.”

When Wagner asked the group what issues were most important to them this election cycle, many mentioned immigration, including Dorian Urizar. “I’m Guatemalan,” he said. “When we see the new immigrants, they're more violent, there's more chaos… We've been here longer than them and it's starting to affect us more… They're making us look bad.”

When Wagner asked Urizar if he supported Trump's mass deportation proposal, he told her the plan was “a little dubious.”

“I wouldn’t say I fully support it,” he said. “But I think it's a good idea for the new immigrants, because they are the problem.” As Wagner pointed out, studies have shown that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans.

Voters were also asked whether sexism might be the reason for lower support from black men for Harris.

“Most men love their mothers, they love their wives…they respect women,” Judge Felix told Wagner. She went on to say she believes the vice president does not have the qualifications or training to govern America.

Harris' resume is extensive. She graduated from Howard University before attending Hastings College of the Law at the University of California, San Francisco. Before becoming vice president, Harris served as district attorney of San Francisco, attorney general of California and a U.S. senator.

Crystal Canty, who told Wagner she doesn't identify as a feminist, said she doesn't support Harris because “at the end of the day, I don't think she has the right personality.”

“I don’t think she has what it takes to run against Putin and these other presidents who are made for that,” Canty said. “I want my president to feel confident and manly.”

As Wagner noted, these voters do not reflect the majority of black voters in the city:

“Let me be clear: The voters I spoke to are not representative of Black voters in Philadelphia as a whole,” Wagner said. “Black voters are expected to overwhelmingly support Kamala Harris in this election. The question is: How many voters from this blue country can Donald Trump reach?”
