Dems Losing Black Support As 100s of African Americans Candidates Run for GOP
Trending Politics ^ | May 13, 2022 | Jo Marney

Posted on 05/13/2022 6:29:00 PM PDT by Dr. Franklin

Black Americans are now shifting their support to the GOP in unprecedented numbers. 100 black Republican candidates are running in primary elections so far in 2022, over 70 of whom are standing for Congress.

...[T]he Dems have seen a huge dip in support from minority groups including black and Latino voters, w... traditionally been a fairly stable support bloc...

Since Joe Biden’s presidency, an Associated Press-NORC poll suggested that African-American support for Democratic Congress candidates fell from 56 percent to just 25 percent in March, while approval ratings for Biden among black Americans fell by 30 points since his presidency.

Similarly, a Marist list survey last month concluded that only 39 percent of Latinos would now vote Democrat.

The shift is undoubtedly a direct result of the Dems losing touch with the issues working class Americans face on a day-to-day basis in favour of pushing champagne socialist nonsense and focusing on meaningless woke ideology.

Many ethnic minorities also feel that Democrat candidates often make big promises to the black community but then fail to deliver on their word upon election:

“They ask for our vote, and then we don’t see them again,” said New Pennsylvania Project director Kadida Kenner.

“[That approach] likely won’t be enough to win Black voters this year.”

It’s clear that many black Americans are beginning to feel that the divisive, race-obsessed agenda pushed by Biden’s Democrats is actually detrimental to true equality and contributes to a negative and regressive impact on black communities:

“President Joe Biden and the Democrats are losing more and more ground with Black voters; the poll numbers do not lie,” said RNC National Spokesman and Director of Black Media Affairs, Paris Dennard.

“Biden’s progressive policies have disproportionally hurt Black Americans, causing more Black voters to reject Biden – and the Democrat Party.”

I hope the new members will represent their constituents rather than tow party line. When you vote, give detailed explanation why you voted that way. It had better be a good reason.

We see how it turns out, but I’d be happy that Ditch is not onboard in any case.

I hope none of them are turncoats. Two that I really like are the Lt. Govs. of N.C. and VA. I have great respect for both of them. I am sure there are many others but I don’t know about all the state elections.

This has been slow but steady in the last decade. Hopefully now the momentum will be enough to help save the nation.

I wish I could be that optimistic. I’d love to see some more detailed analyses of the information behind this piece.

The number of black Republicans running for office isn’t an indication of blacks turning away from the Democratic Party. Black Republicans don’t win by getting support from black voters. They win because huge numbers of WHITE Republicans vote for them.

“So Dems will win 93% of the Black Vote instead of 95%”

Assuming you dismiss the rampant cheating that has occurred in particularly minority areas (and not necessarily by the minority persons themselves, but on their “behalf” by the plantation rulers) as a Republican Myth, that 2% would have flipped enough states to keep Trump in the White House. Don’t be so quick to dismiss incremental gains.

Has there been a black Republican Senator since Ed Brooks?

Very true.

But it is telling black Republicans are no longer afraid to run and no longer feel all alone like they are sticking their neck out. That can spill over into more rank and file black Republicans “coming out” and more real conversations taking place vs. just automatically falling in line because it is “their place” to do so.

Our problem electorally isn’t going to be minority voters in the future - it is going to be the increase in woke, rich leftist whites.

We need a Contract With Black America. It’s time. That would give the rats the Hershey squirts for the next 2 election cycles. For once they would have to react like we always do.

It's too bad that Republicans do not remind people that the Democratis Party is the party of Jim Crow, the party of the Confederacy, the party of the KKK, etc..

Sure wish John James was there now as well - seems like a super good guy and would have been great in the Senate.

But looks like he has a good chance of winning a House seat this time around.

As long as they are true MAGA supporters. We do not need any assistant Democrats of any color.

They “feel” that?

Heck, we’ve known that for years, and it’s just occurring to them?????
