Floridas Black voters seem split on who to support in the remaining weeks of the 2024 presidential election. Those we spoke to in Jacksonville said they had serious trust issues with both candidates, whether knowing too much about the former president or not enough about the current Vice President.The voting block is estimated to account for about 2.6 million eligible Florida ballots this election cycle. Thats a lot of votes in a state that Florida Democrats continue to insist is winnable on November 5.Heres what Black voters told us this week.Dana Miller: I hear a lot of African American guys talking theyre going to vote for Trump. I ask them why. They really dont have a reason, they say they dont know Kamala Harris. They dont know her like that. I tell them weve voted for white guys for over 200 years. You didnt know them.Kacheryl Gantt: Its a back and forth is Trump this? Is Harris that? So like I said, everyone is on the fence.Honey Holzendorf: I know who I am going to vote for and it will be Kamala Harris. The day I saw him (Trump) remove babies out of their moms arms (referencing migrant family separations at the border). I am a mom. I couldnt imagine being separated from my baby.Jalen Hardy: Right now? I don't know, because shes (Harris), like, on our side, but she could be just saying that. And Donald Trump, all he cares about is money. So he get his money, hes going to do whats hes going to do.Jasmin Bossard: My biggest concern is the whole 2025 I think thats what its called. And police immunity is one that I always get stuck on. Just the police being able to do whatever and having the immunity, that's a big one. We have a 16-year-old son. You know, raising a Black boy, um, driving, you know, hanging out with friends, you know, what I'm saying? Just doing you just never know.Mario Bossard: We have to do our best and do our due diligence to get the right information on who we think should be in office. But at the end of the day, everyone in that office has their own agenda, seems like. Goes back to I'm 37 so I've seen a lot of different term of presidents, and seem like the world is still in the same place no matter who the president is. That's my issue.Barrell Clayborne: It's a trust thing, you know? I mean, the idea that whoever goes in there, they're not going to help anyway with anything. They only going to be allowed to do so much, you know? I mean, so who's the best who's the best devil? That's it. In other words, who's the best devil to go with? We know Trump. Kamala? She might be she might be what we need.
