Steve Bland, the senior pastor of Detroit’s Liberty Baptist Church, who told MSNBC, “The Black vote in Detroit is higher than it’s ever been and we will determine the outcome — because we’ve gone from picking cotton to picking presidents.”  

In Detroit and the surrounding metro area, nearly 8 out of 10 people are Black and 94% of the votes in the city of Detroit went to Biden. Trump lost Michigan by over 140,000 votes, according to the Associated Press.
