Michigan community leader tells CBS, “Many black men are not supporting the Harris campaign.”

A group of Michigan community leaders told CBS News' Ed O'Keefe that black men don't want to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, citing their frustration over the difference Harris' candidacy would make in their lives.

“Vice President Harris used this radio interview to defend herself against accusations that she was now doing this outreach for political reasons. And community leaders we've spoken to here in Detroit say the Harris campaign still has a lot of work to do,” O'Keefe said, noting Harris' interview with radio host Charlamagne tha God.

The vice president told Charlamagne that what she was talking about was “not new” and that it was “not about winning this election.”

“A lot of black men are not interested in the Harris campaign, and I think that should have happened a while ago,” said one black community leader.

“We have tens of thousands of people who don't want to vote and don't give a damn about Kamala, Trump or anyone else because they don't see how this campaign, this candidacy, makes a small difference in their lives,” another said.

O'Keefe also asked the group if they thought Harris would win in November.

Most of the group said Harris would make it, but that it would be close.

“I think it's all about survival at the moment. “I see nuances of Hillary Clinton’s campaign with the arrogance of a Democratic Party that is out of touch with the electorate,” one of the leaders said.

Harris hinted during her interview with Charlamagne that she was open to making amends.

“I am running for president for all Americans. Having said that, I have a clear view of the inequalities that exist and the context in which they exist, d “As far as reparations are concerned, there is no doubt about that. And I have made that position very clear in terms of my immediate plan,” Harris responded.

Her town hall meeting with Charlamagne came just days after former President Obama's comment went viral: admonished black male voters because of a lack of enthusiasm for supporting Harris. Polls suggest Trump is making gains among black men, who have traditionally been among the Democratic Party's most reliable supporters.
