Advance 2026
Black Voters Can Flip Congress In 2026
Advance 2026 is an initiative that seeks to organize and mobilize the Black vote for the 2026 elections. Behind this plan lies the grassroots movement AAMKA, (African Americans Mobilizing for Kingdom Advancement).
Advance 2026 was created before the 2024 election, built on the hope that Kamala Harris would win. That didn’t happen. Trump is back in office, and we are facing an all-out attack on our rights, our votes, and our future. And we had to rebuild Advance 2026 from the ground up to meet this urgent moment.
Our Mission
Our mission is to flip Congress in 2026 by determining our political destiny, drowning out disinformation, and disregarding distractions. Every D-word in that mission matters.
- Determine our political destiny — We decide our future, not MAGA or Democrats.
- Drown out disinformation — We counter lies with truth and facts.
- Disregard distractions — We refuse to be divided or misled.
Black Voter Turnout in 2024: The Numbers Tell the Story
African Americans accounted for 11% of all voters—that’s 17.16 million Black votes out of 156 million total ballots cast (U.S. Census Bureau, 2024). Trump won by just over two million votes.
- Donald Trump: 77,303,564 votes
- Kamala Harris: 75,019,268 votes
- Margin of Victory: 2,284,296 votes
Trump Thanked Black Voters Once Again
When we analyze Black voter turnout, the reason Trump thanked Black voters for his victory becomes clear.
- Total Black Votes Cast: 17,160,000
- Black Votes for Trump: 2,230,800 (13%)
- Black Votes for Harris: 14,776,000 (86%)
- 13% of Black Voters Supported Trump
The 13% of the Black vote or 2,230,600 black votes Trump gained gave him enough votes to win the 2024 election. It was a histroic blunder fueled by disinformation.
Trump’s Biggest Gain Was With Black Men
Trump won 21% of Black male voters in the 2024 election. In 2016 he won 13% of Black male votes. That was an 8 percentage point increase in just eight years (Pew Research, 2024).
That shift played a direct role in Trump’s victory. But the real issue isn’t just who Black voters supported—it’s how many didn’t vote at all. Those eligible voters who did not vote must be our focus.
The 17 Million Missing Black Voters
The truth is we have 34.4 million eligible Black voters, yet only 27 million are registered. Of the registered, about 10 million didn’t show up at the polls in 2024. Add to that the 7 million non-registered Black voters who can actually cast ballots but didn’t, and we’re looking at 17 million missing Black votes.
Some percentage of that 17 million missing Black voters would’ve altered the election outcome. If we don’t shift this dynamic, MAGA will rule the nation for many decades. These facts are why Trump thanked Black voters twice.
