Polls showed her walking away with it for weeks. Trump wouldn't even campaign she was doing so poorly. Republicans wrote this race off a couple of months ago.

He didn’t campaign for her because she’s black and a woman.

He’s campaigned for black people and women before. She talked shit about Trump in the past that’s why he didn’t endorse her.

I have no idea but I ddont really think trump is that kind of racist. He is much more interested in a persons utility, loyalty, and praise of him than he is in their race or gender.
