Earlier today, the controversial Reverend Al Sharpton weighed in with his thoughts regarding the forthcoming 2020 election. Many Americans were surprised to hear Sharpton also predict a victory for President Trump, reports The Hill.
An Overview of Sharpton’s Remarks Regarding the Upcoming Presidential Election
The Reverend shared his thoughts on the forthcoming 2020 election during his time in the United Kingdom. Sharpton slammed what he views as poor Democratic leadership. Moreover, he also believes that the Democrats are not in the best position to emerge victoriously from the midterm elections in November.
In Sharpton’s own words, the Democrats “lost the ability to dramatize. [Trump] understands spectacle and drama and they don’t.”
The Reverend continued by vocalizing his opinions regarding black voters in America. According to Sharpton, Bernie Sanders’ focus on class issues, instead of race issues, alienated a degree of black Americans in 2016. Moreover, the Reverend believes that Elizabeth Warren could garner stronger advocacy from black Americans due to her awareness of the “racial dimension.”
