Monisha J. Brown x Azad Ahmadi (Georgia Black Republican Council)

In a post-election interview with "Rolling out," Azad Ahmadi, combat veteran and member of the Georgia Black Republican Council, discusses the implications of Donald Trump's 2024 presidential victory and its impact on the Black community. Ahmadi emphasizes that politics shouldn't affect how people treat one another and calls for unity regardless of political affiliations, pointing to potential economic benefits of Republican policies.

Ahmadi, who faced criticism for his Republican Party membership, noted a positive shift in how his political views were received in the Black community, particularly among Black men, during the 2024 election cycle. He attributed the Democratic Party's loss partly to their reliance on celebrity endorsements, which he said didn't resonate with voters, and their underestimation of social media's impact in spreading awareness of problems in Democrat-led cities. Ahmadi also suggests that Trump's legal challenges helped him connect with Black male voters who have experienced similar treatment in the justice system.
