Harris unveils business loans, cannabis industry opportunities for Black voters

Vice President Kamala Harris is launching a new campaign initiative aimed at mobilizing Black voters, particularly Black men, ahead of the upcoming presidential election. The initiative, called the "Opportunity Agenda for Black Men," includes provisions for forgivable business loans for Black entrepreneurs.

It also focuses on new studies addressing diseases like sickle cell, which disproportionately affect African American men, and regulating cryptocurrency to protect Black men who invest in digital assets.

Additionally, Harris pledged to legalize marijuana and ensure that Black men can benefit from its business potential.

A New York Times poll released on Saturday, Oct. 12, found that 20% of Black men support Trump, while 15% of all Black voters do, representing a six-point increase from four years ago.

With just 22 days until Election Day, the Democratic Party is bringing in prominent figures to rally Black supporters.

Former President Barack Obama has been making stops in battleground states to speak directly to Black voters, while former President Bill Clinton also spoke to Black voters in Georgia on Sunday, a state he won in 1992.
