Trump sees his chance to win over black men's votes

African American women have long been lauded as the Democratic Party's backbone, but 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and President Trump have their eyes on black men.
Democratic White House hopefuls rely on high African American turnout to translate their aspirations into reality, having not won a general election with a majority white vote since 1964. And both Biden and Trump know it.
After a summer of civil unrest sparked by George Floyd's death in police custody, Biden last month launched his "Shop Talk" series. The events for African American men try to emulate the conversations that used to take place in black barbershops across the country before the coronavirus pandemic. They also highlight the two-term vice president's economic proposals.
