Milwaukee’s Black voters expose cracks in Democratic foundation for Harris

CNN  

Milwaukee, Wisconsin CNN — Devonta Johnson is going door to door, clipboard in hand, wearing a bright yellow vest and a seemingly permanent smile. “You can’t win a statewide election here without going through the heart of Milwaukee and in some cases that runs through this office and the work that our team does,” Lang said in an interview. “People are, like, ‘I think I had more money in my pocket when Trump was in office because of the stimulus checks during the pandemic,’” Lang said. “It makes sense why people may have a little bit of a pause,” Lang said of the vice president’s background in law enforcement. “It’s about doing the right thing for the country.” Eric Jones says he has heard that and more as he makes the rounds getting coffee, going to the barbershop or in his real estate business.
