Pastor Darrell Scott called former President Donald Trump earlier this month to tell him he was working on a plan.
“We’re going to try to get you 25% [of the Black men],” Scott, who co-founded the National Diversity Coalition for Trump in 2016, recalled telling the former president in an interview with NOTUS.
“Well, I’m already at 28% right now,” Trump said, according to Scott — a remark he perceived as a joke. Trump won 6% of the Black vote in 2016, and that number grew to 8% in 2020.
