In Atlanta, Trump rallies black supporters ahead of 2020 despite polls showing anemic support among African Americans

ATLANTA — President Trump sought Friday to demonstrate support within the black community ahead of his reelection bid next year, vowing to campaign for “every last African American vote” even as polls show him with anemic standing among that key demographic.

The president rallied a few hundred supporters at a Black Voices for Trump campaign event at the Georgia World Congress Center, where he boasted about economic gains and criminal justice reform and denounced Democratic leadership in major American cities.
