In an effort to regain momentum among Black male voters, U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris defended her prosecutorial record and proposed key policy changes during a prominent radio interview on Tuesday.

Engaging with host Charlamagne tha God, Harris refuted claims of disproportionately incarcerating Black men as a former district attorney. She expressed her commitment to decriminalizing marijuana, highlighting the negative impacts on African American communities. Her campaign faces challenges as polls indicate a dip in Black male support compared to President Joe Biden's 2020 performance.

Harris aims to navigate obstacles posed by misinformation from the Trump camp, urging for police reform through the stalled George Floyd Policing Act. The vice president strives to revitalize her campaign by engaging media platforms like Fox News and considering a guest spot on Joe Rogan's podcast.
