‘I Didn’t See That Coming’: ‘Daily Show’ Correspondent Shocked ‘Black Folks Do F*ck With Trump’

“The Daily Show” correspondent Josh Johnson in a Tuesday segment expressed surprise that a panel of black tri-state area voters was evenly divided between supporting former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.

Trump is drawing support from 26% of likely black voters and 67% say the nation is moving in the wrong direction under Biden, according to a June New York Times/Siena College poll. Johnson said he “didn’t see that coming” when three of the six voters said they intend to vote for Trump.

“You know, they use the issues of the African-American community as a soapbox to stand on and make promises, you know, just to get us to come out and vote,” a voter named Erica said. “And then once we vote and everyone’s in place, it’s like, well, what happened?”

Johnson asked the panel what the reasons for the shift are if the polls are indeed accurate that Trump is gaining with black Americans
