Donald Trump has picked up 20 per cent of black male voters – an increase of two per cent on 2016.
While 80 per cent voted for Joe Biden, that figure was down from 82 per cent for Hillary Clinton and from 95 per cent for Obama.
More than half – 52 per cent – of black men who identified as ideologically conservative cast their vote for the president and 1 in 3 black men living in the Midwest also voted for him.
26 percent of black men with a high school diploma or less supported Trump – while 22 percent with a bachelor’s degrees and 20 percent of black men with advanced degrees also supported him.
Trump has gained endorsements from rappers like Lil Wayne and has partnered with Ice Cube to create an investment plan for the black community dubbed the Platinum Plan.
Support for the Democratic presidential candidate reached a new low among black men in the 2020 election as some chose to vote for President Donald Trump instead, and others were turned off Joe Biden by a serious of campaign gaffes.
Biden received a significantly lower percentage of the vote among black men than Barack Obama, according to exit poll data from NBC, but also managed to win a lower percentage of the demographic than Hillary Clinton.
The former Vice President received a lower number of votes from black women than both Obama and Clinton as well, although he still won their support over Trump by a landslide.
The drop in black support for Biden was especially prominent in the Midwest and it comes despite Trump receiving some backlash for his response to Black Lives Matter protests over the summer.
