Recent opinion polls indicate Harris has slipped significantly with Black men. In a New York Times/Siena College poll, now only 70 per cent of Black men say they support Harris, down from the 85 per cent who said they backed Joe Biden in 2020. Black male celebrities such as rapper Lord Jamar, who lambasted Harris but lauded Trump's approach to leadership, reflect that trend.

In addition, the rapper Kodak Black, pardoned by Trump in 2021, has been a regular attendee at Trump rallies even though he was critical of some of the remarks of the GOP nominee. Other former NFL players, including Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell, have also made public appearances for rallies that urge voters to favor Trump. Brown is perhaps the most vocal.
This shows that this shift in celebrity endorsement aligns itself with a larger trend of the Black male. 25 percent of respondents under 50 said they might vote for Trump, according to an NAACP survey. As Harris's voting support is crumbling within her most important electorate, Trump's pandering activities appear to remind everyone involved that her labor of love will be undercut by the highest competition because the Democratic campaign is about to get underway.
