Is the Black vote shifting? In this edition of Angela Gets Answers you will hear from two very different black voices one from the black conservative perspective about Donald Trump. Stephen A. Smith says every Black American should vote Republican at least once. Roland Martin says they already tried that — and got burned. I sat down with Janiyah Thomas — the Black Media Director for President Trump during the 2024 election — to find out why she not only voted for Trump, but helped elect him. And she has zero regrets.When Axios reported that the GOP has a shot with Black voters, the internet exploded. Black Americans pushed back hard. Stephen A. Smith sparked a firestorm when he said Democrats have neglected the Black community and it’s time to make them pay at the ballot box. Roland Martin fired back — pointing to the massive drop in Black owned contracts, cuts to federal programs, and broken economic promises under Trump.But nobody was sitting down with the Black women who actually made the choice — so I did.In this interview, Janiyah Thomas breaks down: • Why she supported Trump over the Democratic Party • What she believes the GOP is offering Black Americans that Democrats aren’t • Why she thinks more Black people should consider voting Republican • What it was like being a Black woman inside the Trump 2024 campaignStephen A. or Roland Martin who’s right?
