"Now, there's a lot of Black men in here … our Black men. We gotta get them out to vote, that's No. 1," Johnson said Saturday. "Kamala's opponent promised a lot of things last time to the Black community that he did not deliver on.
"We gotta make sure we help Black men understand that. So, that's why I'm here — to make sure I help Black men understand first, get out and vote, and then vote for the next president of the United States, Kamala Harris."
