"They're about justice. They're about Donald Trump potentially reversing all of the gains achieved by the Civil Rights movement. They are not about abortion," said Stewart.
It's in stark contrast to what's being said on the campaign trail, where President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are wooing voters who support abortion rights--while Trump and his surrogates pursue anti-abortion voters.
Although Black men traditionally back Democrats, one prevailing narrative is they are unenthusiastic about Biden, the presumptive party nominee. They make up close to 7% of the electorate, according to a Pew Research Center analysis, and this year, a few thousand votes in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and other swing states could decide the race.
Democratic US Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina remains concerned that Trump's hyper-masculine campaign style is drawing those Black male voters who don't feel represented in mainstream politics away from the Democratic Party. Clyburn is trying to counter that trend.
After his dismal debate performance enflamed concerns about his age, Biden, 81, also is trying to shore up his loyal base. He recently appeared at Mount Airy Church of God in Christ in Philadelphia and elsewhere in the state to quell lingering questions and rumors.
"I, honest to God, have never been more optimistic about America's future if we stick together," said Biden, addressing the congregation in a short speech that evoked Harris but did not mention abortion rights.
Among Black clergy, few are better positioned to assess Biden's character and fitness than Bishop Reginald T. Jackson.
The 132nd Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Jackson, 70, was an advance man on Biden's first campaign for US Senate in 1972, first getting an up-close view of the candidate's shortcomings as a student at Delaware State University.
