‘Don’t come at me with the race thing’: Why one Black voter is backing Trump
Juan Coleman, a Black man from Vermont, voted for Donald Trump in the past and is planning to vote for him again in this election cycle. And he’s not alone. Though we won’t know the actual numbers until the election, there is an uptick of Black voters aligning with the GOP, Black men in particular. Why? In this season finale, we speak with Juan about his concerns for the Democratic party, and hear from CNN national politics correspondent Eva McKend about the history of the Black vote, and how no demographic is a monolith. Homegoings is a production of Vermont Public. Follow season 2 here. This episode was reported and mixed by Myra Flynn, with support from associate producer James Stewart. The episode was edited by Brittany Patterson with help from Jane Lindholm and Elodie Reed. Myra Flynn composed the theme music and all other music is from Blue Dot Sessions.
