Interesting observation on the regional difference. I don’t know one way or the other.

But I know turnout is the key.

Doesn’t seem that blacks have much enthusiasm for 2018 midterms. For Democrat victory in 2020 it is necessary (but not sufficient) to get them out to vote. That’ll take a black candidate IMO.

Blacks routinely underperform in midterms, the reason being that most of them live in safe districts where the black congressman is in for life. No real reason to get excited. Now the presidential year, that’s another matter.
