'People didn't know': Trump suggests confusion over Harris' race hurt her with Black vote

Former President Donald Trump admitted that Vice President Kamala Harris identifies as Black after previous accusations that she recently "turned Black" to help her election chances.

During a podcast this week with Patrick Bet-David, Trump suggested he was gaining support from Black men because he signed legislation to fund historically Black colleges and universities.

"And I think that's why Black men really like me," he said. "And I think Black women do, too, but they have a woman who is Black, although you would say she's Indian, but she is Black ."

"But really, a lot of people didn't know, which is true," the former president added.

"I learned about it just a couple months ago," Bet-David remarked.

"That she's Black, or that she's Indian?" Trump asked.

"The fact that she's Black," the podcast host said. "I thought she was Indian until a couple months ago."

"People change," Trump opined.

A recent New York Times poll found Trump had 12% support among Black women.
