In this insightful episode, we explore the evolving political affiliations among ethnic minorities, focusing on Black, Arab, and Hispanic voter groups. From the increasing support for the Republican Party among Black and Hispanic voters to the influence of fiscal conservatism and social policies, we unpack the reasons behind these shifts. We also touch on media portrayals, self-empowerment, and economic aspirations influencing these communities. Additionally, the discussion covers Kamala Harris' policies towards Black entrepreneurs, her controversial political moves, and how these developments shape the future of U.S. politics. Join us as we delve into these critical voter trends and their significant impact on the American political landscape.

Simone Collins: Hello, Simone. I'm excited to be here with you today. Today, we are going to be talking about a phenomenon this election cycle where Ethnic minorities have been moving very quickly more and more to voting Republican in the changeover from the Biden running for office to the Kamala running for office, which is really interesting to me because I think a lot of people would assume, Oh, now we've got a, you know, a multiracial, a black Indian woman who's, yeah, yeah.

for office. Like obviously she'll get more like Obama did more of the black vote to show up than historically did. And in yet we are seeing the exact opposite and not just the black vote, but basically across the board.

Speaker: Wasn't that the turn for our polling station?

Speaker 2: we know A, , shorter route to your, to our Democratic polling station. You know how us Democrats like a shortcut, like government spending to prop up the economy. Nothing more we love than those, , federal programs. You two

Speaker: are [00:01:00] Democrats, aren't you?

What? .

Speaker 2: Of course we are. You see the color of our skin, don't you? How could we not? Blindly vote democratic.

Would you like to know more?

Simone Collins: So we are one going to go over the numbers for each ethnic group. We're going to go over what might be causing this, and we are going to go over what this means for the future of American politics.

That is so cool. Let's do this.

So in the 2020 election, Biden won approximately 92 percent of the black vote. Only 8 percent of the black vote didn't vote for Biden.

That's insane. That, that is very impressive.

Yeah. Current polling shows Kamala leading Trump 78 percent to 15 percent among black voters.

This represents a major shift from 2020. And if you look at the polls that I sent you, [00:02:00] so this is mostly happening in young Black men, we see a really interesting phenomenon,

Speaker 4: Sir. Now people think that black voters are a monolith.

No, we're not.

Speaker 5: In fact, black Republicans alone are an extremely diverse group of people.

Simone Collins: Which is that with Black voters, unlike pretty much any other voter demographic you're going to look at, the younger they are, And it's proportional to their age, the more pro Republican they are.

And it is increasing with each generation here. So here we can look at two different polls. One is looking at different age groups. And it asks them, please assess your feelings towards Donald Trump on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is cold and 10 is very warm. And you see of the very warm category if you look at black voters over 65, it's only 4%.

If you look at black voters, 18 to 29, it's [00:03:00] 29%. What is going on? And just so people can get an idea of what this looks like
