Abstract
- The article discusses the Democratic Party's struggle to maintain support from black voters, particularly working-class individuals, in key battleground states like Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The author, Robert Woodson Sr., suggests that Democrats' long-standing control of big cities has led to dissatisfaction among black voters due to economic concerns. Data shows that under the Trump administration, black workers saw significant economic gains, which may have influenced their voting preferences. The article also highlights Kamala Harris's challenges in connecting with black voters, as her policy initiatives may not resonate with the broader working-class demographic.
