CNN’s Sara Sidner pushed back after commentator Bakari Sellers dismissed a poll showing Donald Trump making major gains with Black voters. CNN’s Harry Enten had earlier marveled at a collection of polls finding Trump has tripled his support among Black voters since 2020, from 9% to 21%, while President Joe Biden has seen his support drop from 86% to 70%. Sidner noted the numbers are “very high” for a Republican and asked Sellers what could “explain” the jump in support.

Donald Trump is now leveling his authoritarian threats right out in the open. He appears supremely confident that none of it will alienate swing voters. Now NBC News reports that the Biden campaign hopes to draw out this side of Trump at their upcoming debate—but if Trump doesn’t see these things as liabilities, he may advertise them all over again when voters are paying attention.
