SC primary illuminates where Biden, Harris stand with Black voters

For the first time, South Carolina will kick off the Democratic presidential primary season in an effort by the party – and urged by President Joe Biden – to center Black voters. After decades of New Hampshire being the “first in the nation,” the Democratic National Committee voted last year to change its presidential primary calendar to better reflect the diversity of the United States and reward the party’s most loyal voting block. “This is a really, really big deal.

Biden, determined to win Black voters, returns to South Carolina

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Joe Biden doesn’t need to worry about his prospects in South Carolina’s Democratic primary next week. He’s got that locked up. He also knows he’s not likely to win the solidly red state come November. It hasn’t voted for a Democrat since 1976. He’s spending this weekend in the state nonetheless, intent on driving home two messages: He’s loyal to the state that saved his campaign in 2020 and he’s determined to win back Black voters […]

Biden isn’t on the New Hampshire ballot after prioritizing Black voters

As New Hampshire residents prepare to vote in Tuesday’s primary election, some may wonder why President Joe Biden’s name will not be on the ballot. The absence of the Biden-Harris ticket is a result of a standoff between the Democratic National Committee and New Hampshire officials after the national party moved to designate South Carolina as the first primary state for the Democratic presidential contest.  New Hampshire previously held the first-in-the-nation primary for over a century, even solidifying its status […]

Activists search for messages to resonate with Black voters in 2024

WASHINGTON (AP) — This year’s elections in Louisiana didn’t go the way that voting rights advocate Ashley Shelton had hoped, with the far-right conservative attorney general replacing a term-limited Democratic governor and consolidating Republican control in the state. Turnout was just 37%, despite the efforts of activists like her. “Even when you work hard and you do all the things you’re supposed to, you get an unfortunate outcome, which was these statewide elections,” said Shelton, the executive director of Power Coalition for […]

They argue that Democratic power players need to think — and spend money — in new ways, going beyond efforts that can be […]
