“About a hundred Trump supporters, overwhelmingly Black men, gathered at The Cigar Code on Tuesday evening in North Philadelphia, filing into a smoke-filled room with tufted sofas for an informal chat with Reps. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Wesley Hunt (R-TX) about the pivotal role they have to play in the election,” Semafor reports.
Said Hunt: “Pennsylvania’s a swing state. It’s one of the most important states in this entire election. And so what we know is we could carve out between 25% and 30% of the Black male voters in Pennsylvania. What we’re trying to do is actually go fish where the fish are.”
Attendees mostly cited concerns about inflation and LGBTQ+ rights.
