A group of black male voters in Pennsylvania told a local reporter they had not considered Vice President Kamala Harris to be black ahead of former President Trump’s remarks on her race during an on-stage interview at a conference of black journalists last week.
On Saturday, CNN host Michael Smerconish aired a clip of local CBS news affiliate reporter Joel D. Smith interviewing potential black voters at a barbershop last week about their views on Harris.
“Is Kamala gonna make you a little more likely or less likely to vote Democrat?” Smith asked the men. Before answering the question, one of the men looked at the barber and asked, “Greg, hold on Greg. Is Kamala Black, yes or no?”
“I’m gonna let her speak on that, but to me, no,” he responded.
He then turned to others and asked the same question.
“I share that same view,” one responded.
