Biden’s Debt to Black Voters Grows

January 6, 2021 · 12:09 pm ET · Leave a Comment

James Hohmann: “Black voters delivered for Joe Biden. By rallying behind him in South Carolina’s February primary, they catapulted the former vice president to the Democratic nomination. By turning out in huge numbers from Philadelphia to Detroit and Milwaukee in November, they ensured he won the electoral college.”

“By defying expectations in Georgia on Tuesday, and turning out at higher rates than their White counterparts, it appears more likely than not that they have just provided Democrats with control of the Senate for the first time in six years and, with it, the ability for the president-elect to enact key elements of his agenda and confirm his nominees.”
