<p>Dr. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-carson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Carson</a>, a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/us/politics/donald-trump-vp.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">possible contender</a> for former President Donald Trump&#8217;s running mate, made the case on Sunday for why more black Americans may vote for the Republican ticket this election cycle.</p>
<p>During an interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; anchor Jake Tapper asked Carson if Trump could improve his numbers after getting 12% of the black vote — including 19% of black men — in the 2020 contest against now-President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think, you know, black Americans are no different than any other Americans,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/simonateba/status/1792199995849859203" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Carson, himself a black man who served as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development throughout the Trump administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;They feel the pinch of the inflation. You know, they know what it feels like when they have to go fill up their gas tank,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They see the crime that&#8217;s running rampant, that people, repeat offenders are being let out of prison and endangering them and their neighborhoods.&#8221;</p>
<p>Carson added, &#8220;They see what&#8217;s happening with the border and how that&#8217;s impacting their own communities, how other people&#8217;s issues are being put on the front burners and theirs are being put on the back burners. I think those are the issues that are pushing them toward Trump.&#8221;</p>
<p>Polling in recent months indicates that more black voters, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-leading-in-5-of-6-swing-states-nyt-philadelphia-inquirer-siena-college-polls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">particularly black men</a>, are turning away from Biden and said they plan to support Trump in the 2024 election across several battleground states.</p>
<p>Bernice King, the youngest daughter of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mlks-daughter-bernice-king-black-men-more-attracted-to-donald-trump-and-his-candidacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently said</a> on Bloomberg Television that the Biden administration needs to develop a strategy to better address the concerns of black voters, especially black men.</p>

<p>&#8220;I think there are people in the black community who are feeling like not a lot has changed, especially economically, in the black community, and I think many of them are being driven by that,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Carson <a href="https://x.com/Jules31415/status/1792242897636446274" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Tapper he has not spoken to Trump about the VP position but stated he would be &#8220;willing to discuss policies, the differences&#8221; when asked if he would be up for a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris — the first black person to serve in the role.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have a unique situation, where you have juxtaposed two different administrations with different philosophies,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And people can see, how did one feel versus how did the other feel? And I would love to debate with her or with anyone about that.&#8221;</p>
