Trump rejoices over major BLM leader endorsement, Dems on edge
Democrats Worried as BLM Leader Endorses Trump
Just when you think nothing could make the Democrats more worried than they are right now about the 2024 presidential race, it gets worse for them.
Mark Fisher, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, made waves on Tuesday when he vocalized support for the Republican frontrunner, former President Donald Trump.
In an interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” Fisher slammed Democrats, saying, “It’s obvious that the Democratic Party is not for us.”
The BLM leader told Fox News host Lawrence Jones that it’s the “duplicity” and the “hypocrisy” of the Democrats that made him support Trump.
“We’re not stupid. The brothers are not stupid. We understand when someone’s for us and when someone is not,” he said.
Fisher argued that Democratic policies “actually strike at the heart of the black family and the nuclear family.”
He said a lot of people are misinformed about Trump.
“Personally, I love the man,” Fisher said. “I mean, how could you not like a real man — how would you not relate to someone like that?”
He went so far as to say he would “stump for Trump.”
Remaining Committed to Unity
However, Fisher said he remained committed to the Black Lives Matter organization.
“My message that I preach and that I tout is unity,” he said.
On an earlier appearance on “The Kim Iversen Show,” Fisher said the Democrats were a “racist party.”
He also praised Trump’s record, saying, “He’s going to tell you how it is.”
Trump’s Response
Following the interview, Trump made a statement on Truth Social in which he indicated that he had reached out to Fisher and had a conversation with him.
“Spoke with Mark Fisher yesterday, a great guy, very honored to have his and BLM’s support,” he said.
“I have done more for Black people than any other President (Lincoln?), including 10 year funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, where they had none, Opportunity Zones, Criminal Justice Reform, and much more. Thank you to Mark!” the former president wrote.
Changing Dynamics
Fisher’s comments also come on the heels of polls showing eroding support for President Joe Biden among black voters.
A recent New York Times/Siena College poll showed Trump garnering 22 percent support among battleground-state black voters, significantly up from the 8 percent he got in 2020.
Will the BLM endorsement help Trump?
- Yes: 100% (9 Votes)
- No: 0% (0 Votes)
Democrats Losing Support
An Associated Press poll in May found that only 41 percent of black adults wanted Biden to run again in 2024.
These are giant neon signs that Democrats are in danger of losing their most loyal constituency.
Losing even a small percentage of the black vote would spell disaster for Biden and his party.
As more and more black voters are starting to wake up, Democrats are seeing their worst nightmares coming true.

How has Mark Fisher’s endorsement of Donald Trump affected the concerns of Democrats about the upcoming 2024 presidential race?
Democrats are facing increasing concerns about the upcoming 2024 presidential race, with recent events only exacerbating their worries. One such event occurred when Mark Fisher, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, expressed his support for former President Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner. Fisher made his endorsement known during an interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” where he criticized the Democratic Party, claiming that they do not have the interests of the black community at heart.
In his conversation with Lawrence Jones, the host of the show, Fisher highlighted what he saw as the “duplicity” and “hypocrisy” of the Democrats, which led him to support Trump. He emphasized that black people are not foolish and can discern who truly stands for their interests. Moreover, Fisher argued that Democratic policies directly harm the black family and the concept of the nuclear family.
Contrary to popular misconceptions, Fisher expressed his admiration for Trump, stating, “Personally, I love the man.” He praised Trump for his authenticity and relatability, describing him as a “real man.” Fisher even went as far as saying that he would actively campaign for Trump.
Despite his endorsement of Trump, Fisher maintained his commitment to Black Lives Matter as an organization, emphasizing the importance of unity. This message aligns with Fisher’s previous statement on “The Kim Iversen Show,” where he labeled the Democrats a “racist party” and praised Trump’s straightforwardness, appreciating his willingness to speak his mind.
In response to Fisher’s endorsement, Trump took to Truth Social, a social media platform he is associated with, to acknowledge the support offered by Fisher and the Black Lives Matter movement. Additionally, Trump stated that he had spoken with Fisher personally.
Trump used the occasion to remind the public of his achievements in benefiting black Americans, including funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the creation of Opportunity Zones. Trump claimed to have done more for this community than any previous President, even drawing a parallel with Abraham Lincoln.
The endorsement from a prominent figure like Fisher has undoubtedly raised concerns among Democrats. It highlights the effectiveness of Trump’s outreach efforts and his ability to connect with individuals from various backgrounds. As the 2024 presidential race looms, Democrats will need to assess their own strategies and work toward regaining the trust and support of voters across the spectrum.
