WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump claimed Black and Brown voters are joining the Republican Party because they reject communism and socialism. The president tied that shift to the party’s founding legacy, invoking Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president. Trump made the claim on Truth Social, framing demographic movement as a rejection of the political left. He offered no polling data or figures to support the assertion.
