Black Caucus Gives Trump 'We Have a Lot to Lose' Policy Blueprint

On the campaign trail in August, President Trump appealed for African-American votes during a rally in a Lansing, Mich., suburb. "You're living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed -- what the hell do you have to lose?" Trump said. So when the Congressional Black Caucus finally met with Trump at the White House on Wednesday, they handed the president a 125-page report titled "We Have a Lot to Lose: Solutions to Advance Black Families in the 21st Century." The meeting included Trump, Vice President Pence, Omarosa Maginault and three other administration officials with CBC Chairman Cedric Richmond (D-La.), House Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.), Rep. Anthony Brown (D-Md.), Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.), Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) and Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.). The CBC's sole GOP member, Rep. Mia Love (R-Utah), was not in attendance.
