So sick of the "african american" and "mexican american" labels. Were all just Americans at the end of the day.

[brandonmartin]

This Black person has never heard the media say “Black people don’t care about public safety in this country”. WTF is he talking about??

[Jae_Garcia]

You don’t see us Mexicans asking “why should Latino Hispanics vote for Trump Vance ticket”

[tinyjones]

Cause we could eat, get jobs, not going into WW3. Most of black men see what going on

[gerrymarmee]

Its time for African Americans to see a way out of the past. Black Americans want to work and live safe.

A better question is why should they keep voting Democrat after being let down all these years.

[marilynbolton]

We are all Americans, one people under God.

We all Americans, race doesn’t matter, the economy is shit for everyone, we all are struggling in this economy

[mustangracer]

As a id in the 50s my neighbors were all different races.. and all were anxious to be
good Americans and respect their neighbors as family and friend. Dems caused the division.

Trump/Vance are for any and all people! 🙏🏻 we are for AMERICA!! 🇺🇸

[SirSayakaMikiTherd]

I just voted today for Trump/Vance from Los Angeles. Everyone here complains about the crime and homelessness, but they keep voting for the same people. I know I am just one person, but I hope people start waking up and make California great again!

[Mrs.Deanna_Ember]

I'm Hispanic, my husband is Afro-Cuban and we both fully support Trump/Vance 💯 Democrats don't support women and minorities as much as they claim. Moms for Trump/Vance 🇺🇸 MAGA 🙏

[broeheemed]

He should have just said "because we didn't lie about being black".

[jamesarnett]

first off they arent African i an American with german and swedish heritage i dont call my self a german or swedish American i call my self an AMERICAN

[hannahchan]

It’s about time a conservative ticket acknowledges our black brothers and sisters!

[treyille]

35k is the average black family and the majority of Black Americans. You need a Black American agenda.

J.D. VANCE COULD STOP WALKING AND CALAMITY HARRIS COULDNT CATCH UP😢😢😢

[johnz]

🙏🙏Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr., Tulsi, Elon team 2024 💯💯 🙏 🙏

The man just knows how to provide a succinct intelligent answer to a question. Job well done!

[Ike-unmc]

The bigger question is why would any African American NOT vote for the Trump Vance ticket after decades of Democrat voting, with the present situation for many African Americans mostly resultant from this?
