He won the election but with little support from black voters. Things haven’t gotten much better, as his approval ratings among black voters have remained the lowest of any racial group.

And a little more than a month before the midterms, Trump, seemingly still unaware of black Americans' dissatisfaction with his administration, continues to question why his party isn’t winning their support. He tweeted Sunday:

“So if African-American unemployment is now at the lowest number in history, median income the highest, and you then add all of the other things I have done, how do Democrats, who have done NOTHING for African-Americans but TALK, win the Black Vote? And it will only get better!”

The short answer is that black voters care about more than unemployment. The unemployment rate is a continuation of a decline that began during the Obama administration, a fact Trump does not acknowledge. In addition, black voters have been baffled by “the other things” Trump often claims he has done but has yet to clearly identify. Black voices have repeatedly expressed what they dislike about Trumpism in op-eds, on cable news and at rallies. Yet Trump’s response is pretty much what it has been for the past several months: Unemployment is down.

But that has not been sufficient this year. A Washington Post analysis shows Democrats have set or essentially matched records for the number of female, black and LGBT nominees headed into the midterm elections. And it seems that, instead of a president who is responding to the concerns of black voters, Trump and the GOP are backing candidates and picking fights that exemplify some of the concerns black voters have long had about him.

Several midterm races have generated headlines that won’t help Republicans' probable poor performance among black voters. Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis, whom Trump endorsed, has found himself in a number of racially sensitive scandals. And the National Republican Congressional Committee has released an ad targeting a black Democrat, Antonio Delgado, who is running for Congress in New York, that has been accused of engaging in dog-whistle politics by attacking Delgado’s hip-hop past.
