Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Butterfield, Rep. Gregory W. Meeks, D-N.Y., and Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. Black voters reacted skeptically on Friday to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s public admission that he now believes the nation’s first black president was indeed born in the United States. Many said the fact that Trump spent many years questioning President Barack Obama’s national origin was disrespectful, and an insult to all black Americans. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
