IMHO - Donalds needs to move out of FL to become Trump's VP. Especially now with the real possibility that the DEMS will run Big Mike. No one else speaks as dramatically and truthfully to the Black community as him. He has a dynamic personality and connects with people in much the same way as Trump.
Tensions flare at Atlanta-area event as Black Republicans urge Black men to ditch DemocratsFAIRBURN, Ga. — On the eve of the first presidential debate, two of the most prominent Black Republicans in Congress gathered in a deep blue suburb of Atlanta to mobilize Black male voters and make a pitch for why they should consider voting Republican.
In a two-hour discussion, a crowd of close to 100, mostly Black men, sipped on cocktails and smoked cigars on Wednesday night as they filled a local cigar lounge to hear Reps. Wesley Hunt (R-Tex.) and Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) lay out their positions on everything from immigration and school choice to the future of Black families and Black conservatism.
The event, billed as “Congress, Cognac and Cigars” and moderated by former ESPN host Sage Steele, was the second in a series of gatherings about why voting Republican benefits the Black community, and part of a broader outreach effort to shore up support among Black voters for former president Donald Trump as he runs for a second term.
But the questions and repeated interruptions from attendees throughout the event put on display that while many Black men in the room and across the country might be disenchanted with President Biden, they aren’t automatically voting for Trump this fall. Instead, Donalds and Hunt, serving as messengers for the Republican Party and Trump campaign surrogates, were faced with uncomfortable conversations from a largely Black audience with complex ideologies — some who will never vote for Trump, some who are undecided and open to hearing them out and others looking for fellow Black conservatives...............
