As The Root pointed out when allies of the President started circulating fake A.I. photos of Trump with all of his Black friends, the President remains unpopular with Black voters. Support for Biden has decreased somewhat among Black voters, but there’s no evidence that there’s a mass exodus to Trump land underway.

Black unemployment hit an all-time high under the Trump presidency, peaking at around 16.8 percent in May 2020. Black unemployment hit an all-time low of under 5 percent last year under the Biden administration.

It's wild that black unemployment is at an all time low at 5%. The full-population unemployment has been mid-3% for more than a year straight and that's with a group representing 14% of Americans pulling it up towards 5%.
