As he runs for the White House again, former President Donald Trump is aggressively courting Black voters – a group that for decades has been the bedrock of the Democratic vote.

During his Manhattan criminal trial, Trump hosted rallies in New York City neighborhoods that are traditionally heavily Democratic.

Madeline Brame said in November she'll vote for Trump, although there was a time in her life where voting for Trump would have been unthinkable.

"I was a 45-year loyal Democrat," Brame told NY1.

In 2016, Brame did not vote for Trump, but she did in 2020. Navigating the criminal justice system after the 2018 murder of her son became a turning point. Now a vocal supporter of Trump, Brame even took the stage during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

In an interview with NY1, Brame said, "I knew that he had conservative values that the country was losing.”

For Linwood Dillard, November will be the first time he votes for Trump.

As a business owner, Dillard said, during the pandemic, "Trump was giving a lot to the people that was small business owners.”

"When Biden got in office I just didn’t see the same thing," Dillard added.

Brame said when it comes to inflation, she's felt the financial squeeze during the Biden administration.

"The middle class has been pushed down to the working poor and the working poor have been pushed down to the working dirt poor, that's what's happening," Brame said. "I’m among the working dirt poor, and I’m so sick and tired."

On public safety, Dillard said he agrees with Trump's campaign platform of expanding the use of stop-and-frisk policing.

"At 41 years old, I agree. When I was younger, I felt like I was being harassed, but as I walked down the street I didn’t have to worry about the safety of my son,” Dillard said.

Both Brame and Dillard said they believe, because of his age, President Joe Biden should not serve another term in office.

"The debate was the nail in the coffin," Brame said.
