He argues that the country is in a […]

Harris’ emphasis on maternal health care is paying dividends with Black women voters

Vice President Kamala Harris is seeing a surge of support from Black women voters, galvanized in part by her work on healthcare issues such as maternal mortality, reproductive rights, and gun control.

Black women have always been among the most reliable voters in the Democratic base and were central to former President Barack Obama’s victories in 2008 and 2012. Enthusiasm was also robust for President […]

According to the National Institutes of Health […]
