During a recent interview with Newsmax, Jordan Sekulow, the executive director of the American Center for Law & Justice, discussed former President Donald Trump’s visible support among Americans, particularly those who have historically voted for the Democratic Party.
Sekulow highlighted the enthusiastic reception Trump received in New York City, where large crowds of everyday people gathered to cheer him on. This enthusiasm, according to Sekulow, points to a potential shift in voter preferences across different demographics.
Sekulow also brought up an event from last week in West Atlanta at a Chick-fil-A, where Trump was warmly welcomed by predominantly Black supporters.

This aligns with a recent poll by the Wall Street Journal, which shows that Trump’s support among Black men in seven key swing states has climbed to 30%. During the event, attendees expressed their support directly to Trump, telling him, “Don’t believe what they say about you, we love you.”
Julianne Murray, the state chair of the Delaware Republican Party, who appeared alongside Sekulow, commented on Trump’s knack for media.
She noted that Trump is adept at maximizing his television presence, a skill he uses to his advantage, capturing airtime that is widely broadcast. The conversation also touched upon the ongoing legal case in New York involving Trump.
The case centers on accusations that Trump directed his then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, to make payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, and former Playboy model Karen McDougal. These payments were allegedly made to prevent them from disclosing past affairs with Trump, which he has denied.

Trump faces accusations of falsifying business records to hide these payments. These developments come at a time when Trump’s interaction with various groups of supporters and his handling of legal challenges continue to make headlines, showcasing the complexity of his public and legal battles.
The support Trump has garnered from unexpected voter bases, along with his strategic use of media coverage, paints a picture of a political figure who remains a central figure in American politics, capable of mobilizing a diverse range of supporters.
