Donald Trump’s Increase In Minority Voter Support Is A ‘Serious Warning Sign To Democrats,’ Journalist Says

In a Friday piece for The Intercept , journalist Murtaza Hussain argued that Donald Trump ’ s gains with minority voters should not be taken lightly by the Democratic Party .
The columnist noted that Trump gained more support from Black and Latino voters than he did during his 2016 race against Hillary Clinton , and also secured approximately one-third of all Asian voters .
Hussain claimed that conservative rhetoric on specific issues — including crime , immigration , and policing — appears to resonate with some minority voters as much as white conservatives .
“ Both groups , along @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , also lean conservative on some issues , particularly religion , compared with white progressives who make up much of the Democratic voting coalition , ” he wrote .
As reported by FiveThirtyEight in October , recent data suggests that Trump is gaining support from young Black and Hispanic voters .
Interestingly , he appeared to be on track to lose backing from Caucasian voters — a trend that seems to have come to fruition in the election .
Musa al-Gharbi , a professor of sociology at Columbia University , argued that liberal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people of color in the war on racism .
However , he opined that these individuals often approach their role in a way that undermines their understanding of the issue .
These upper-class individuals , he argued , focus on gaining cultural and social capital as opposed to empowering people of color or making genuine attempts to dismantle racist systems and structures .
According to Hussain , electoral politics complicates this perception due to the fact that many accusations against Trump are leveled not just by educated elites but regular Americans , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Trump ’ s State of the Union address earlier this year and suggested that it was a warning shot directed at liberals .
Notably , the African American commentator pointed to the president ’ s focus to doubling down on reaching out to the African American community .
He warned Democrats that the president ’ s appeals to the demographic — including criminal justice reform , school choice , and funding for struggling Black colleges and universities — can be effective at gaining their backing .

“Both groups, along with a significant chunk of Asian Americans, also lean conservative on some issues, particularly religion, compared with white progressives who make up much of the Democratic voting coalition,” he wrote.
“All this, though, has not translated into majority support for the Republican Party — at least not yet — but it should be a serious warning sign to Democrats about taking nonwhite voters for granted.”
As reported by FiveThirtyEight in October, recent data suggests that Trump is gaining support from young Black and Hispanic voters. Interestingly, he appeared to be on track to lose backing from Caucasian voters — a trend that seems to have come to fruition in the election, per Reuters.
Musa al-Gharbi, a professor of sociology at Columbia University, argued that liberal elites believe they are the defenders of people of color in the war on racism. However, he opined that these individuals often approach their role in a way that undermines their understanding of the issue.
“White elites — who play an outsized role in defining racism in academia, the media, and the broader culture — instead seem to define ‘racism’ in ways that are congenial to their own preferences and priorities.”
These upper-class individuals, he argued, focus on gaining cultural and social capital as opposed to empowering people of color or making genuine attempts to dismantle racist systems and structures.
According to Hussain, electoral politics complicates this perception due to the fact that many accusations against Trump are leveled not just by educated elites but regular Americans, including minorities.

Notably, the African American commentator pointed to the president’s focus to double down on reaching out to the African American community.

The comments came during a discussion with co-host Jack Maxey , during which the 66-year-old opined that President Donald Trump should fire disloyal administration officials .
Wray was harshly criticized by the president in September for testifying to Congress that Russia was actively working @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden in the presidential election .
More recently , Trump hinted he would fire Fauci — a key member of the White House ’ s coronavirus task force — in response to the chanting of the crowd at a Florida campaign rally .
In its statement to the press , Twitter indicated that it had suspended Bannon ’ s account because the tweet in question glorified violent actions .
The company ’ s March 2019 policy on the matter explicitly states that users “ may not threaten violence against an individual or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s comments were also posted on his Facebook and YouTube accounts .
Although both services eventually removed the video on grounds similar to those of Twitter , it had been viewable for several hours before any action was taken .
Bannon ’ s remarks may have had consequences beyond losing his social media platform .
As reported by Law & Crime and a number of other outlets , his lawyers in an ongoing criminal case asked a federal judge on Friday to postpone a hearing scheduled for the beginning of next week as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
No official reason was given for the request .
The former administration official was charged in August by federal prosecutors along in an alleged scheme to launder money using funds donated for a private border wall .

“I have this weird theory that I’ve been thinking about that when he loses all four of these last states, Trump is just gonna lose it, be too embarrassed, and resign,” he tweeted.
Others have long speculated that it would be in Trump’s nature to quit when the going gets too tough. Tony Schwartz, ghostwriter of the former real estate mogul’s best-selling Art of the Deal, has long said he believes that Trump would buckle under the pressure of a major loss and decide to resign.
As the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election was unfolding, Schwartz predicted that if it appeared he would be implicated and potentially removed from office, he would find a way to quit.
“I surely believe that at some point over the next period of time he’s going to have to figure out a way to resign,” Tony Schwartz told Anderson Cooper, via HuffPost.

Russian politician Leonid Kalashnikov appeared to share Popov’s grief over the likely electoral result.
“Unfortunately, Trump lost. Understandably, I have nothing to be happy about… All of us should be thinking: ‘What is Russia supposed to do now?’ Get ready to be disconnected from SWIFT [international banking payment system]? That Europe will line up along with their sanctions?”

“Donald Trump did not come to Moscow and never invited our president to Washington. Therefore, all we are left with are bad memories.”

“There is nothing done by the Trump administration that can be rationally characterized as a radical aberration, some dramatic break, from U.S. tradition,” he argued.

The writer also highlighted the Bush administration’s torture program at the infamous prison located at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, which operated outside American law. Greenwald pointed out that dozens of people are still held at the location almost 20 years after it was established.
The former Intercept journalist also claimed that Trump’s campaign was able to commit many of its atrocities due to the actions of his predecessors.
“Indeed, Trump was able to campaign on, and then implement, escalated bombing campaigns that killed large numbers of civilians because the bipartisan framework had been laid over the prior two presidencies that empowered that.”

Donald Trump Announces Press Conference At Landscaping Firm Located Between Adult Book Store And Crematorium

In a series of tweets on Saturday morning , some of which have since been deleted , Donald Trump announced that he would be holding a press conference at a Philadelphia-area landscaping firm with a location that raised some eyebrows .
Trump wrote that his legal team would be holding a press conference to discuss developments in the presidential race .
Trump appeared to have some difficulty pinning down the exact location , first saying it was simply at “ Four Seasons ” before deleting the tweet and rewriting it to say that it would be held at “ Four @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” He finally clarified that it was not the Philadelphia hotel of the same name but instead a small firm called Four Seasons Total Landscaping .
The site of the event earned some mockery online .
As the Mirror pointed out , the small business had an unusual location — tucked between an adult bookstore and a cremation center .
“ Fantasy Island is an Adult book store , which advertises that it sells DVDs , lotions and novelty gifts , ” the report noted , adding that the business advertises “ viewing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ On the other side of the road is the Delaware Valley cremation center , ” the outlet wrote .
Trump ’ s announcement came just before major news networks called the state of Pennsylvania for Biden , putting him over the 270 electoral vote threshold and unofficially making him the president-elect .
The president ’ s campaign has been filing legal challenges in several states , claiming that poll watchers were not allowed proper access and making unfounded allegations of election fraud .
CBS News reported that shortly after Biden was projected as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Giuliani said that Trump would not be conceding , noting that there were “ at least 600,000 ballots ” in question across the state of Pennsylvania .
The president ’ s lawyer claimed to have statements from 25 poll watchers saying they were prevented from properly monitoring the process .
“ I could have brought about 50 with me , ” Giuliani said at the press conference , claiming that some did not want to be seen publicly for fear of retribution .
Other reports have indicated that Trump will not concede , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and that he plans to continue fighting through the courts .
Trump and his allies have been criticized for making allegations of election fraud but not offering proof of the claims , and some have been called out for spreading misleading or false information .
Twitter hid a number of Trump ’ s tweets behind messages telling viewers that the information was not verified or contained disputed claims .
That included a tweet just hours after polls had closed claiming that he had won the race .

“Only a very personal note – I am relieved and look forward to having a president who respects POW’s who have been captured… (*I had to say it),” tweeted Meghan.
Her tweet referenced the highly publicized comments that President Donald Trump made about liking war heroes who weren’t captured, which can be heard in this 2015 video from the BBC. The senator was a prisoner of war for more than five years from 1967 to 1973 after being shot down over Hanoi during Operation Rolling Thunder.
Meghan has often spoken out about her relationship with Biden during her time on The View. He also famously supported her during an interview in 2017, where he discussed his late son, Beau Biden, and her father.
Meghan’s mother, Cindy McCain, spoke out in support of Joe Biden during this election, and she said that her husband would want what was best for the country over what was best for the Republican party, The Hill reported.
Many people called Arizona turning blue in this election, sending its electoral college votes to the Biden ticket, McCain’s revenge on Trump for his hateful words during the last years of his life.
Meghan’s tweet received plenty of attention. Over 44,000 Twitter users hit the “like” button, and thousands retweeted and commented on her sentiment. Many of them expressed their admiration of her dad and expressed their happiness that Biden became the president-elect.
“Congratulations! A lot of work to bridge everyone’s differences but definitely step in the right direction!” tweeted one fan.
“Your dad was a great man, and I am going to call it..the McCain factor that nailed Trump to his wall in Arizona,” another person replied.
“You and your mother show what true Americans look like…putting our great country first….” a third Twitter user declared.
“Senator McCain is the perfect example of an honorable Republican. His leadership is missed, but his examples will live forever. Thank you,” enthused a fourth account.
The Inquisitr reported that Meghan said that she would always believe in democracy regardless of political parties or presidents in this country. She mourned her father, since it was the first time she’d faced a vote without her dad, but she enjoyed that she had her daughter, Liberty, with her for the momentous event.
