PhotoTara Wall was eager to help Donald J. Trump win over African-American voters, just as she had for President George W. Bush. “It was made clear to me that that was not their focus,” Ms. Wall told The Run-Up in our latest podcast. “They weren’t focused on or weren’t planning to do any significant outreach to black voters,” Ms. Wall says. “They were focused on lower-class white — suburban, in some cases — voters.”In this episode, we explore how Mr. Trump, the Republican nominee, is faring so poorly with black voters, according to polls. A recent poll shows Mrs. Clinton with 91 percent of the black vote, compared to 1 percent for Mr. Trump.
