A group of black men in South Carolina discussed their potential support for former President Trump, citing financial reasons and a desire for better business policies.
They expressed admiration for Trump’s ability to generate wealth and circumvent rules, contrasting it with their concerns about Biden’s approach to business.
“A lot of my friends, we’ve only voted once, and Trump is kind of all we know — Trump and Biden. And they’re like, ‘Well, we were broke with Biden. We weren’t with Trump,’” Kinard Givens said.

“And that’s kind of the only thing that I’m hearing over and over again is that ‘with Trump, we had money.’”
“A lot of people admire [Trump’s] persona, and they want to be him. They want to enjoy the perks that he has. He seems to always be able to circumvent the rules,” Juston Brown said.
“[I]n spite of all the craziness he may have in his head, reading some of the things that he talks about with business, I can kind of agree with as far as business-wise because I’m trying to grow my business,” Thomas Murray said.
“I haven’t seen Biden really care about business,” Murray added. “And my concern is having my business, so that I can build generational wealth, so my kids can see and have something to take upon when I’m not here.”
The men’s views reflect a shift in the black vote, with a recent NBC News poll showing a decrease in support for Biden and an increase in support for Trump among black voters.
