Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump continued over the weekend the attempt to woo minority voters he began on Friday, when he asked black Americans to vote for him because they have nothing to lose. His son Eric promised in a radio interview Sunday a President Trump will "fix" inner cities.
Previously, speaking in Virginia on Saturday, Trump said the GOP "must do better" in appealing to African-Americans, but he labeled as "crooked politics" a Virginia campaign to restore voting rights to felons — a policy that would disproportionately re-enfranchise black voters. "Hillary Clinton is banking on ... getting thousands of violent felons to the voting booths in effort to cancel out the votes of both law enforcement and crime victims," he alleged.
