Former President Trump was in Michigan on Saturday speaking to a racially diverse crowd of about 200 people at a church in Detroit. He then attended an event hosted by Turning Point Action, arguing about his legal troubles. NBC’s Dasha Burns reports for Sunday TODAY.
At Donald Trump’s Black voter outreach event at a Detroit church last weekend, the church’s pastor and several prominent Black Republicans joined the former president onstage. So did another unlikelier figure: rapper Casada Sorrell, better known as Sada Baby. Most Republican voters may not be familiar with Sada Baby, but there’s a good chance their kids are.
But though it’s not actively seeking rappers’ endorsements, the Biden campaign notes it is making a play for voters through its presence at several events centered on Black music and culture, including J. Cole’s Dreamville Fest in North Carolina and Usher’s Lovers & Friends Fest in Las Vegas. The specifics pulling Trump and notable rappers together Trump’s reputational redemption from some rap artists has been fueled in part by praise he received for his handling of criminal justice matters.
