Among Black voters, key swing states saw a shift from Democrats to Republican. In Georgia, one of the first swing states that went Trump’s way, he recorded a one per cent increase in Black votes from 2020, as per exit polls analysed by Al Jazeera. In Michigan, where Harris faced a growing anti-Democratic sentiment in the wake of growing anger against Israel’s war on Gaza, nearly 2 per cent Black votes shifted from Democrats to Trump. North Carolina also saw a big shift of 5 per cent among Black voters from Democrats to Republican. In Pennsylvania, Republicans got three per cent more Black votes than in 2020 while in Wisconsin, Democrats lost a massive 13 per cent of the Black votes. Poverty, low wages and healthcare concerns plaguing the state are being considered factors for the shift.
