CNN Commentator Dumps Cold Water On Obama Swaying Black Male Voters To Harris With DNC Speech

CNN commentator Shermichael Singleton pushed back Tuesday with the outlet’s host on whether former President Barack Obama could sway more Black male voters to support Vice President Kamala Harris with his Democratic National Convention (DNC) speech.

Obama is scheduled to address Democratic delegates and supporters Tuesday evening, as the DNC enters its second night in Chicago. Singleton said the “erosion” of black male voters’ “economic power” has hurt their support for Democrats, acknowledging that by bringing Obama on stage, Democrats may “presume” he could attract more black male voters.
