Charlamagne STUNNED After ABC’s Jon Karl Tells Him Trump Won a Third of Minority Votes: ‘No… REALLY?!’
Charlamagne tha God expressed complete shock after ABC’s Jonathan Karl told him President-elect Donald Trump won one-third of the minority vote on Sunday’s edition of This Week.
After explaining his initial disbelief, the radio host told Karl he felt the news should not have come as a surprise, given issues such as the economy and crime.
Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris Tuesday in a race that was called hours after the last polls closed. Trump was carried to victory by a coalition of minority and male voters, according to exit polling.
On Sunday, Karl asked Chalramagne for his thoughts on Trump’s successful messaging for those key voting blocs:
KARL: What do you make of the demographics here? I mean, Trump got one out of every three voters of color.
CHARLAMAGNE: No.
KARL: Yeah.
CHARLAMAGNE: one out of every –
KARL: Thirty-three percent.
CHARLAMAGNE: Really?
KARL: Yeah.
CHARLAMAGNE: When you say color, you mean like, Black, brown, everything? Oh. Well, I think that, you know, people have different issues that they care about. And I think that there’s nobody out there that’s a single-issue voter. I think some of this is a backlash to race, and gender and identity politics. But, man, most people, they just care about keeping food on the table and keeping a roof over their head. And I think sometimes people forget about that. I think that they forget about, you know, the working class. For whatever reason, Donald Trump speaks to the grievances of the working class in a real way. And I keep telling folks, people forget what you did there, forget what you said, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel. And when you go back to 2020, even though it was a pandemic and it was Covid. People don’t care. All they know is they got stimulus checks with his name on it, and that’s what they remember.
Charlamagne concluded voters chose Trump over the “dinner table issues” that affected them on a daily basis.
