The slant of that story is IMO somewhat questionable. They interviewed a 4 or 5 people who didn't vote in 2016 and used that to infer AA voters in Michigan will sit out 2020 and not vote against trump because they're upset with the Democratic Party.That's kind of like those outlier polls who talk to a few people and say the poll reflects how most voters will vote.
