Doubt it. While the racism was a really fun distraction, life has gotten bad enough for most racist white people to just become disaffected. Many of them who voted for Trump 2 years ago will just stay home now.
On the other hand, saying the N word on camera would very likely activate even more black voters. Due to Dobbs and other disenfranchisement efforts, that demographic is turning out in record numbers already. Hearing the president confirm how racist his party is with a single word could probably get the most uninformed people to head to the polls.
The GOP is scared of Trump’s N-word rants, they kept Apprentice out takes under wraps with Mark Burnett:
Bill Pruitt (May 2024): Former Apprentice producer Bill Pruitt wrote an essay in Slate stating that during the first season in 2004, Trump was recorded on camera questioning whether America would “buy a n— winning” when discussing Black finalist Kwame Jackson. Pruitt claimed the conversation took place in a boardroom in front of other staffers
Omarosa Manigault Newman (2018): In her memoir Unhinged, former Apprentice contestant and White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman claimed she was told by multiple sources that outtake recordings existed of Trump using the slur during the show’s first season.
Also witnessed by Tom Arnold.
So with a little more poking and a little dementia sprinkled on top, we could hear the N-bomb before Tuesday.
That would probably increase his approval rating
