Warning: This episode contains strong language and racial
slurs.

For decades, Black Americans formed the backbone of the
Democratic Party, voting by overwhelming margins for Democratic
candidates. While most Black voters are expected to cast their
ballots for Kamala Harris, polls suggest that support for her
might be softening, particularly among Black men.

Sabrina Tavernise travels to Georgia, a key swing state, with two
“Daily” producers, Lynsea Garrison and Sydney Harper, to speak
with one family about their experiences through the decades.

Guest:

Sabrina Tavernise, co-host of “The Daily.”

Lynsea Garrison, a producer on “The Daily.”

Sydney Harper, a producer on “The Daily.”

Background reading:

Some Black voters have drifted from Democrats, imperiling Ms.
Harris’s bid, a poll showed.

As Black voters appear to hesitate on their support,
Democrats race to win them over.
