We've seen a lot of folks fleeing the Democrats in the past few years, and it's little surprise given the poor results that Joe Biden has delivered to the country. 

There have been reports for a while now about a significant portion of the black vote moving away from Democrats and Joe Biden. Now, every election, there seems to be big speculation on that. But the New York Times noted an astonishing number that should make everyone sit up and take notice.

In a poll of residents in battleground states by The New York Times and Siena College this fall, 22 percent of Black voters said they would support former president Donald Trump over President Biden in a hypothetical 2024 matchup.

For comparison's sake, in the close race in 2020, former President Donald Trump allegedly got eight percent of the black vote. 

Twenty-two percent would be a tidal wave and likely spell doom for Biden. I'm not sure I believe the number is that high. But if it's anywhere close, Biden's goose may be cooked, as Cook Political's David Wasserman explained. 

This leaves out the simple explanation that NYT/Siena found: Trump’s strength among nonwhites is almost entirely concentrated among voters who don’t show up in midterms/off years but will in ‘24.

Agree Trump unlikely to hit >20% w/ Black voters, but even 15% would doom Biden. https://t.co/3GwOOpa832

Fox's Lawrence Jones discussed the phenomenon with Mark Fisher. Fisher should have some insight because he's a black former Democrat who is now for Trump. He also was co-founder of a BLM chapter in Rhode Island. So that's quite a switch. 

NEW: Black Lives Matter Rhode Island co-founder Mark Fisher is supporting Donald Trump for the 2024 election because Democrats are “not for us.”

Didn't see that one coming 🔥🔥

Jones says he's seen this movement when he's talking to men in the barbershop. He asked Fisher what he thought the reason was for the big movement. 

Fisher said he thought it was "the duplicity of the Democrats." 

“We’re not stupid. The brothers are not stupid. We understand when someone's for us and when someone is not and it's obvious that the Democratic party is not for us.”

Fisher said that the Democrats' policies strike at the heart of the black family and the nuclear family. How true that is, and a great point to make. 

“A lot of people are misinformed [about Trump]," Fisher said. "They don't really understand because they don't educate themselves on Donald Trump as a person and his history.” So true — Democrats are fed a constant diet of "fine people" and "racist" by the liberal media, despite that not tailoring with reality. 

“Personally I love the man," Fisher said. "I mean, how could you not like a real man? How could you not relate to someone like that?”

Jones made the point that if it's 22 percent in the battleground states, it's probably more than just the men making the move. Jones asked Fisher what he would say if Trump were watching the show, and Fisher said he would "Stump for Trump." 

Fisher said he wanted to bring all the groups together: "one nation, indivisible, under God."  

Democrats have to be tearing their hair out.
