  • As President-elect Donald Trump fills out his Cabinet and closest advisers, African American Republicans ask why more Black people haven't been selected.

The article from ABC News discusses the sentiments of Black Republicans regarding former President Donald Trump's term and his choice of appointees. Despite Trump's efforts to appeal to Black voters, many Black Republicans feel overlooked and underrepresented in his administration. They point out that while Trump did appoint some Black individuals to high-profile positions, such as Ben Carson to Housing and Urban Development, the overall representation was minimal. Critics within the party argue that Trump's focus was more on symbolic gestures rather than substantial policy changes or appointments that would genuinely address issues pertinent to the Black community. There's a sense of frustration as they feel their support for the GOP has not translated into meaningful inclusion or policy advancements for Black Americans. This has led to a feeling of being "left out" despite the party's outreach efforts.
