‘End of an Era’: GOP Erodes Black Support Away from Democrats — Over 100 Black Republicans Running for OfficeJacob Bliss 13 May 2022
Black Americans have started to support Republicans in droves as their approval of Democrats has diminished over the years, paving the way for over 100 black conservatives throughout the country to run for office in 2022.
In the current 2022 midterm elections, over 100 black Republicans are running in primary elections at all levels, with over 70 of those candidates running for Congress. Republicans, after striving to win back the House in 2020, left the Democrats with the slimmest majority in modern history and gave themselves the upper hand in the midterms.
To win the majority requires a net gain of only five Republican seats in November, and a lot is on the line in both the House and the Senate. Losing either one of the chambers could mean the Democrats and Biden will have a more challenging time passing their partisan agenda items before the next presidential election.
The bottom line is that while the Democrats double down on their failed policies pushed by a failing administration that overplays their divisive rhetoric, Republicans are committed to enacting policies that lift all Americans from every background — and embodied by black Republican candidates across the country, such as Texas’s Wesley Hunt and Michigan’s John James seen as rising stars in the party.
As the support from black voters has diminished over the years, Republican candidates such as former President Donald Trump have made inroads with the minority communities after showing support across the county.
