      Trump won over a sizeable amount of black voters (or arguably Biden lost a historical amount; likely both) as well as Hispanic voters. Racists are not likely to change their vote from Trump. Racialized people who began leaning towards Trump might if his racism is spotlighted, and that seems to be exactly what’s happening.

      Trump is the leading candidate for president of the United States. He already has a platform and is going to make the front page. Stop being obtuse.
