For Black voters who picked Zohran Mamdani when Cuomo, Adams, and old ways weren’t enough

If you were a Black voter of a certain age in New York City, many people expected you to vote for Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s mayoral race. The numbers show, by and large, that’s what happened–Cuomo had a 20-point advantage with Black voters over State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, earning over 51% of the vote. But while Cuomo emerged from his resignation-retirement in hopes of running the city, his big loss to Mamdani shows that most Democratic voters didn’t want the […]

‘Nothing will stop me’: Defiant Trump says voters ‘signed up’ for tariffs amid rising costs and economic slump

President Donald Trump is defiant as he marks more than 100 days in office amid frustrations over continued high costs and growing concerns about the health of the U.S. economy. During a recent interview with ABC News, President Trump was pressed on Americans feeling “anxiety” over higher costs due to his tariff policies. The businessman and 47th president of the United States disagreed that Americans who supported him in the 2024 election didn’t “sign up” for it. “Well, they did […]

Black Voters Matter, activists say Trump era is an opportunity to rebuild Black political power

National Black activists engaging with Black voters on the ground say despite setbacks on racial justice Black Americans have an opportunity to rebuild and expand their political power to heights yet seen. Even as they face down President Donald Trump’s agenda, which has included the dismantling of DEI policies and other programs intended to close racial equity gaps, and a sanitizing of how the federal government discusses the U.S.’s history of slavery and racism, these leaders see potential. “This moment […]

Critics say Republicans’ SAVE Act will make it harder for Black voters and others to cast their ballots

On a mostly party-line basis, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives advanced the SAVE Act, a bill that would establish new restrictions to voting. After years of court orders that have weakened the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and a slew of contested state laws and voting maps, Black leaders say the latest legislation only stands to make voting harder. “.. let’s be real, it’s a straight-up voter suppression bill,” wrote Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, on X just before […]

Is the Working Families Party an alternative to Democrats? This leader says voters don’t have to choose.

For many Black voters, the political landscape can often feel like a frustrating binary: Democrats or Republicans. But what if there’s another way? Maurice Mitchell, national director of the Working Families Party (WFP), believes there is—and that voters don’t necessarily have to choose between supporting Democrats and embracing a progressive third-party movement. In an exclusive interview with TheGrio’s Natasha S. Alford, Mitchell broke down the role of the WFP, its relationship with the Democratic Party, and why more voters are […]

Rep. Jasmine Crockett explains why American voters may soon wish they still had ‘Sleepy Joe’

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said voters may eventually have second thoughts about electing President Donald Trump, who has signed a dizzying number of executive orders upending the federal government and threatening trillions of dollars in funding. When asked on “The View” about Trump’s solid approval rating four weeks into his administration and whether Democrats should become more “moderate” on policy issues, Crockett said the Democratic Party has to “do better at education,” particularly after the 2024 presidential election that […]

Democrats’ outgoing chair says Trump’s win forces party to reassess how it reaches voters

ATLANTA (AP) — As he concludes his time as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Jaime Harrison is downplaying his party’s November loss to President-elect Donald Trump and arguing Democrats avoided even greater losses than parties in power have faced around the world. But he acknowledged that Democrats must do a better job of selling the party’s priorities and accomplishments to the working class. He also called for continued nationwide investments in party infrastructure and better use of non-legacy media. “I can’t […]

Food prices worried most voters, but Trump’s plans likely won’t lower their grocery bills

Americans are fed up with the price of food, and many are looking to President-elect Donald Trump to lower their grocery bills. Trump often railed on the campaign trail against hefty price increases for bacon, cereal, crackers and other items. “We’ll get them down,” he told shoppers during a September visit to a Pennsylvania grocery store. But the food price inflation that stunned the U.S. — and other parts of the world — in 2021 and 2022 had complicated causes that are difficult to unwind, […]

Democracy was a motivating factor for both Harris and Trump voters, but for very different reasons

WASHINGTON (AP) — While inflation and immigration emerged as the dominant themes in this year’s presidential race, another issue was prominent in the minds of voters for both major candidates: the stakes for democracy. Half of voters identified democracy as the single most important motivating factor for their vote. That was higher than the share of voters who answered the same way about inflation, the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, abortion policy or free speech, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide. Notably, backers […]
