Trump launches black voters coalition in Atlanta

President Trump travels to Atlanta Friday where he'll appeal to African American voters.

The event one year out from the election will launch the "Black Voices for Trump" coalition. His campaign describes it as a "national effort to mobilize and empower black Americans" to help spread the president's message of "Promises Made, Promises Kept." Only 8% of African Americans cast their ballot for Trump in 2016 while his approval rating among black voters sits at just 10%, according to a recent survey by Quinnipiac University.
