Black Voters Spoke Out This Midterms. Will Dems Listen?

In This Episode

This Midterm cycle Black voter turnout rose in the Deep South. An example of this is in Mississippi, where votes are still being tallied in the U.S. Senate race. However, this trend was not demonstrated in Michigan, Illinois, or New York, based on what we know right now. On today’s show, Jane talks to Astead Herndon, host of “America Actually” and editorial director at Vox, about what we know about Black voters and their relationship with the Democratic Party.
