Tim Scott Pledges $14M for GOP Outreach to Black and Latino Voters

Tim Scott, the Senate's only Black Republican and a potential vice presidential pick for Donald Trump, has announced a $14.3 million initiative to target Black voters in battleground states. The Great Opportunity PAC will invest in media, voter contact, and research to support this effort. This comes as Trump aims to increase his support among Black voters, with recent polls showing a rise in his approval within this demographic. The Biden-Harris campaign criticized Trump's reliance on surrogates for minority outreach.

"Challenges and Controversies: GOP's Struggle with Black Voter Outreach"

At the Black Conservative Federation’s honors gala, former President Donald Trump's remarks highlighted the challenges facing the GOP in reaching out to Black voters, drawing divergent reactions and condemnation from Democrats and Black community leaders. Despite efforts to show affinity with Black voters, recent polling indicates that Black voters still hold highly negative views of Trump. The gala, attended by around 500 Black conservative lawmakers, activists, pundits, and donors, aimed to highlight the GOP's pitch to Black voters, but also served as a homecoming for Black GOP voters who reject suggestions that the party and its leaders are racists. While some attendees praised Trump's speech, others, including prominent figures like Nikki Haley and Joe Biden's campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond, criticized his remarks as insulting and racist.
