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

Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election 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. 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 the implications of Trump's rhetoric. Civil rights groups plan to intensify their efforts for racial equality in response to the election results. Some Black voters, however, believe Trump’s policies could benefit their communities, citing economic improvements during his previous term.
