As Kamala Harris campaigns hard to make sure Black men vote for her, she’s bringing in a secret weapon: Bill Clinton.
This week, the man who author Toni Morrison famously labeled America’s “first Black president” is barnstorming the southern swing states where Black voters could decide who wins the presidency. His arrival on the campaign trail follows actual first Black president Barack Obama’s campaign stop in Pittsburgh last week, when he accused Black men of making “excuses” to avoid voting for Harris.
Clinton did not explicitly mention race, but appeared to be appealing to the same demographic. For instance, he mentioned new Peach State election laws that disproportionately affect Black voters.
