West Palm Beach– As his fans navigated the crush of media organizations on Okeechobee Boulevard across from the Palm Beach County Convention Center on Tuesday night to await the Republican presidential candidate’s arrival from nearby Mar-a-Lago, their disposition contrasted sharply with the somber mood Wednesday morning among African Americans who supported the Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris. PBS News reported late Tuesday that a third of people of color were among the majority who had voted for her opponent. They included the ubiquitous Blacks for Trump, who rallied across the street if not on the convention center stage later when former president Donald Trump, claiming victory, promised “a golden age of America.” For Democrats at a watch party at the nearby Drive Shack, where newly elected Palm Beach County State Attorney Alexcia Cox was being interviewed for local TV, below right, the promise evoked the long nightmare and failure for Black America of the “morning in America,” trickle-down, supply-side economics pledge of another former Republican president, Ronald Reagan.
