Black Americans abandoned the Democratic Party by significant margins in 2024, helping propel President Donald Trump back into the White House. But, one year in office, the president has few achievements specifically tailored to black America.

Trump dramatically increased his share of the black vote in the 2024 election to 15%, up from about 8% in 2020 and 2016, according to voter data verified by Pew Research.
