Will Obama’s blunt message to black men backfire? – First of all with Victor Blackwell

From “Obama admonishes” to “Obama scolds,” the headlines about Barack Obama’s tough talk toward black men who don’t support Kamala Harris are probably not what the former president wanted to evoke. With a new poll confirming that support for the vice president is declining among black voters, will these harsh comments have further impact on the campaign? Victor discusses the reach of campaigns with a panel of experts.

Victor also asks Héctor Sánchez Barba of the Latino advocacy group Mi Familia Vota whether Hispanic men are the next demographic Democrats should worry about.

Plus, comedian George Wallace joins Victor for a comedic conversation about the state of the 2024 race.

And in the wake of back-to-back hurricanes, Victor speaks with an expert who just returned from the storm zone in Florida about how communities of color face unique challenges in obtaining aid, while other groups often actually see more money.
