Story

Scott believes that with Trump leading the Republicans, they have a good chance to get more support from minority voters. He thinks African American men are open to changing their political views. Jennifer DeCasper, who managed Scott's campaign, says they will work hard to get the votes of Black and brown voters to help Trump win the Presidency and Republicans win back the House and Senate. Some Black and Hispanic adults are not happy with Biden's performance as president. A small shift in the votes of minority voters could be crucial in a close election. Scott argues that Trump's policies were better for Black Americans, like criminal justice reform and funding for historically Black colleges. He believes that more Black voters are turning to the GOP because they see a difference between Trump's time and Biden's administration. Scott is traveling to battleground states to talk to voters of color and convince them to support the GOP. The Biden campaign is concerned about losing support from Black voters. Some Black voters are considering voting for Trump instead of Biden. Scott thinks that the recent conviction of Trump could bring more Black men to support the Republican Party. He believes that now is a good opportunity to compete for the votes of minority voters.
