Black Americans voice concerns and resolve after Trump's election win

gazette.com

Donald Trump's recent election victory has raised concerns among Black Americans, who largely supported Kamala Harris. Despite some gains for Trump among Black voters in North Carolina, his overall support remained unchanged from 2020, according to exit polls. Many Black Americans fear a second Trump term could threaten civil rights and exacerbate racial tensions. They express disappointment over the loss of Harris, who could have been the first woman president, and worry about Trump's divisive rhetoric. Civil rights groups plan to intensify their efforts for racial equality in response to the election outcome. Some Black voters, however, believe Trump's policies could benefit their communities, citing economic improvements during his previous term.
