15. I think that was an oddly worded sentence

I think the OP was trying to say that for 95% of Black voters there is no way that they would support Trump. Meaning that no more than 5% would support Trump.

People have posted polls claiming that the Black vote will be 78% for Harris (or something similar) and the OP is saying that at least 95% will support her. At least I think that’s what is being said.
