This Trump campaign office is located on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in a historically black neighborhood in Wisconsin’s home base of Milwaukee, and there’s a painted mural of the civil rights activist not far from the building.

On the same street is America’s Black Holocaust Museum, an institution that aims to raise awareness about the legacy of slavery and the Jim Crow laws that denied black people rights by enforcing segregation and segregation in the southern states.

Traditionally, some wouldn’t expect to see a Republican campaign office on such a street, but the leading Trump campaign organizer in this area says the Democratic Party is not adequately addressing the needs of black voters both locally and nationally.

Erik Ngutse, a full-time pollster, requested literature from the local Republican Party in Milwaukee that directly touched on the lives of black voters.

Area residents visited the office to purchase Trump products and learn more about the campaign’s community outreach efforts.

A voter named King stated that he voted in a presidential election for the first time and said that Trump was better in terms of economy and protection of gun rights. Another voter named Sharon said parents need more in schools and that they have the right to decide what their children are taught.

Vice President Kamala Harris holds a slight advantage over former president Donald Trump, but Ngutse says more black voters, especially black men, are ready for something different.
