Podcasts about black voters

From there he runs the board on eight Senate races where Democrats are polling ahead: Mary Peltola in Alaska, Jon Ossoff defending Georgia against Mike Collins, Josh Turek in Iowa, Troy Jackson taking on Susan Collins in Maine after Graham Platner exited the race, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan against Mike Rogers, Roy Cooper with a commanding lead in North Carolina, Sherrod Brown mounting a comeback in Ohio, and James Talarico leading Ken Paxton in Texas. Hawk spends extra time on Talarico, whose polling shows unusually strong support among Black voters in Texas compared with past Democratic nominees, and on Paxton, whose fundraising has cratered to the point that Donald Trump is planning a rally for him. He also touches on the Jasmine Crockett dynamic in that race.

Progressive outsider candidate Abdul El-Sayed narrowly prevailed over establishment pick Haley Stevens to win the Democratic nomination for Michigan's open Senate seat, though AIPAC spent tens of millions of dollars to defeat him. The narrative that has emerged before and after the primary is one that stresses El-Sayed's weakness with Black and Jewish voters.As Jewish Currents senior reporter Alex Kane wrote earlier this month, Black and Jewish centrists are teaming up in key races to defeat progressive candidates, whom they portray as fixated on Palestine at the expense of their Black constituents. As Darius Jones—senior adviser to a Black centrist group called the National Black Empowerment Action Fund and longtime AIPAC operative—told Jewish Currents, “Focusing on a “foreign conflict” won't “lower health care or housing costs for a Black senior in Detroit, or ensure that a path to home ownership easier for a Black constituent in St Louis or Ferguson.” These Black politicos have endeavored to link moderate Democratic policies and Black interests; reflecting on El-Sayed's attacks on the Democratic establishment, for example, party strategist Jamal Simmons told The Hill that such “attacks on the Democratic establishment in places like Detroit are attacks on Black leaders.” Meanwhile, moderates and conservatives across the country appear intent on pushing the narrative that democratic socialism is the province of privileged white people, pointing to the demographics of the group's membership and the class backgrounds of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's staffers and advisers. To discuss the ways that the figure of the “Black voter” is being used in the fight over the direction of the Democratic Party, host Arielle Angel and Alex Kane welcome Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor—professor of African American studies at Princeton University, author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation, and a co-founder of the digital magazine Hammer & Hope—to On the Nose. They discuss the role of Israel/Palestine in Black politics, the fallacy that Black voters are more moderate on the issues, and what to do with DSA's demographic problem.Thanks to Jules Natt for editing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Media Mentioned and Further Reading“The End of Black Politics,” Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, The New York Times“Donald Trump's Victory, the Elitism of Democrats, and the Need to Build a Hospitable Left,” Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and Daniel Denvir, Hammer & Hope“With Jewish Establishment's Help, a Black Political Group Battles the Left,” Alex Kane, Jewish Currents“An Anti-AIPAC Insurgent Tests Her Message in a Working-Class Stronghold,” Alex Kane, Jewish Currents“The Congressional Black Caucus's Silent Partnership With AIPAC,” Anthony Conwright, The Nation“Can Abdul El-Sayed unite Dems?

Trump just called off a massive weekend attack on Iran after Gulf allies begged him to stand down, saying a deal was imminent. Now Iran is out here claiming no talks are even planned. President Trump told reporters the strike was ready to go, but Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and even Iran itself asked him to pull back because they thought a deal covering the Strait of Hormuz and the nuclear program was close. He said negotiations were set to begin Monday afternoon. Hours later, Iran's Foreign Ministry flat-out denied it — no talks scheduled, no negotiators moving, nothing. Iran's foreign minister is conveniently on a pilgrimage and unavailable. Classic. This is the same regime that has been choking global energy markets and racing toward a bomb. Trump is keeping the military option hot while testing whether Iran is serious or just playing the same old game. Regular Americans watching oil prices, Israel's security, and another endless Middle East mess need to understand what is actually happening here. Pat also covered: "Spider-Man" crushes record — is the “superhero fatigue” narrative finally dead? Day 51: Mitch McConnell is still MIA … and no one in D.C. seems to care. James Talarico's comments on policing in America will have you shaking your head. Marco Rubio looked very presidential sitting down with Lara Trump. The Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case was botched from the very beginning. Do you believe Iran is serious about a deal this time, or is this just more stalling?

Anthony Fauci returned to Capitol Hill today for a heated Senate hearing on his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and questions surrounding its origins. Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment and declined to answer senators' questions, prompting Chairman Rand Paul to announce that the committee will vote next week on whether to hold him in contempt.In this segment, we examine the growing anger among Black voters who believe their families and communities paid a steep price for pandemic-era failures. School closures, business shutdowns, mandates, conflicting guidance and unanswered questions left consequences that cannot simply be erased.#AnthonyFauci #FauciHearing #RandPaul #COVID19 #CongressionalHearing #BlackVoters #PandemicResponse

Whether Donald Trump uses his Thursday night address to relitigate Georgia's 2020 election was yet to be seen as of the Tuesday prior, but what's apparent aside from that is this: Democrats seem to know how to snatch "defeat" from the jaws of "victory" all too often the last decade-plus. Between the hand-wringing by centrists like James Carville and the "vote is in play" tease Bill Maher to "sour grapes" supporters of Rep. Jasmine Crockett in Texas, there are factions forgetting their own mantra: "vote blue, no matter who" when a progressive wins a primary. Well James Talarico isn't apologizing for defeating Crockett (nor should he), but he Is "doing the work" to show black voters in Texas his message should appeal to them.

With Washington on edge from the threat of renewed extremist violence, Congress passed sweeping new voter rights protection aimed at beating back the GOP onslaught currently going on in state governments across the country.

Robert Cwiklik, guest author, describes how, by 1874, the Crescent City White League, an armed vigilante group, emerged to violently intimidate Republican officials and Black voters in Louisiana. Their aggression was fueled by a circuit judge's opinion suggesting that federal Enforcement Acts might be unconstitutional, which white Southerners interpreted as a "green light" for resistance. In September 1874, the White League engaged in the Battle of Liberty Place, a full-scale rebellion involving over 8,000 armed men. They confronted the state militia and Metropolitan Policeled by former Confederate General James Longstreet, who was wounded in the fray. The White League successfully drove Republican Governor William Pitt Kellogg out of New Orleans and briefly seized control of the government. Although Grant eventually sent federal troops to restore Kellogg, the event signaled a reassertion of Confederate-style rebellion that the thin federal military presence in the South struggled to permanently suppress.

The Washington Roundtable discusses Donald Trump's eightieth birthday, on Sunday, with a look at the pageantry and spectacle surrounding the planned U.F.C. fight on the South Lawn of the White House. The panel contrasts Trump's desire to project power and masculinity with his recent pattern of disinhibition: from allegedly falling asleep at important meetings and the N.B.A. Finals to angry outbursts at reporters, including such politically damaging statements as “I love the inflation.” Is the President fading, physically and politically? “It's not about the age; it's about the behavior,” the staff writer Evan Osnos says. “It's about the clear fact that his conduct, his cognitive function, his behavior is declining.”This week's reading: “What Jill Biden Doesn't Say in Her White House Memoir,” by Amy Davidson Sorkin “Can the World Cup Transcend Donald Trump?,” by Ishaan Tharoor “The Supreme Court's Latest Blow to Black Voters' Rights,” by Ruth Marcus “Is Elon Musk's SpaceX Really Worth $1.75 Trillion?,” by John Cassidy “Has Nancy Mace's Crusade Against Sexual Violence Ruined Her Career?,” by Moira Donegan “For the Nation's Birthday, Making It Harder to Become an American,” by Jonathan Blitzer The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

The New Yorker investigative reporter Heidi Blake joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss her reporting on Andrew Tate, the British American influencer and figurehead of the manosphere. They talk about Tate's rise to prominence, the media empire he built by glorifying ideas about male dominance and female subjugation, and the allegations of rape, assault, coercion, and sex trafficking that have followed him and his brother, Tristan, across multiple countries. Drawing on leaked documents and messages, interviews with both Tates, and testimony from women who say they were victimized by the brothers, Blake explains how Tate's online persona reflects a much longer history of alleged abuse and exploitation. Blake and Foggatt also explore Tate's growing ties to people in Donald Trump's orbit, and whether his support for Trump and the MAGA movement helped shape the political response to the investigations against him.This week's reading: “Andrew Tate's Empire of Abuse,” by Heidi Blake “Has Nancy Mace's Crusade Against Sexual Violence Ruined Her Career?,” by Moira Donegan “The Supreme Court's Latest Blow to Black Voters' Rights,” by Ruth Marcus “For the Nation's Birthday, Making It Harder to Become an American,” by Jonathan Blitzer “Could Switzerland Become the First Country to Cap Its Population?,” by Jessi Jezewska Stevens The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Louisiana lawmakers approved a new congressional map that eliminates one of the state's two majority-Black districts following the Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais.

Andrea Miller, Center for Common Ground, joins Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, to discuss the history and modern tactics of voter suppression and gerrymandering targeting southern Black voters in what has historically been called the Southern Black Belt. One strategy is to pack all Black voters into one district, and another is to crack the community into smaller pieces to diminish their influence. Andrea suggests that the Republican tactic of cracking Black districts could backfire by creating multiple competitive districts in 2026.  Deepak and Andrea talk about: Current strength of southern Black voters Voter suppression tactics that disproportionately impact rural Black residents How gerrymandering has the potential to spread angry, motivated Black voters across several districts, making all of them competitive for Democrats Why State-level elections are the critical battleground for fighting gerrymandering #CTR4CMNGround #TheDemLabs  #CenterForCommonGround #VoterSuppression #Gerrymandering #BlackBeltPower #StateLegislatures #DownBallot #GOTV #Redistricting #DemocracyStrategy #StatePower #SouthernStrategy #VotingRights #ElectoralStrategy #ProtectTheVote #TurnoutMatters #Election2026 CenterforCommonGround.org TheDemLabs.org

The generic ballot still shows a six-point Democratic advantage. Since early last year, Democrats have outperformed Kamala Harris's 2024 numbers by 13 to 15 points across 32 special elections. Republican enthusiasm is low, the party is divided, and Donald Trump is not on the ballot this fall. Trump's approval on the economy, inflation, and immigration is worse than Joe Biden's numbers were at their lowest. The Iran war is historically unpopular, and with the Strait of Hormuz still closed, the worst economic pain — including potentially $10-per-gallon gas in California — has not yet hit. Eighty percent of Americans, in a strongly bipartisan poll, blame Trump and the Iran war for rising prices. That economic pain is expected to peak right before the midterms. On the gerrymandering front, Texas redrew its map to gain seats — but three of those new districts are heavily Hispanic and Latino, populations that shifted toward Trump in 2024. Those gains may evaporate, potentially turning into Democratic pickups. Hawk also speaks honestly about the racial dimension of these court decisions, reflecting on the experience of Black Americans who are not surprised by any of this — and what it means that the crowning achievement of the Civil Rights era has effectively been dismantled, rendering the votes of 26 million Black Americans in the South nearly meaningless.

From Pete Hegseth's erasure of Black Americans and women from military history, to Donald Trump's dismantling of DEI programs across the federal government, to Stephen Miller's openly stated goal of ethnic cleansing, Hawk connects the dots between policy and intent. The firing of hundreds of thousands of Black federal workers, the targeting of universities and corporations with DEI policies, and the Supreme Court's systematic gutting of the Voting Rights Act are all part of the same pattern. Chief Justice John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito have spent decades working to eradicate the Voting Rights Act, the landmark 1965 legislation that Hawk argues represented the first true moment the United States became a functioning representative democracy. That legacy is now being dismantled in real time. Hawk makes the case that in 2026, there is no longer any reasonable argument that a Trump voter is not fully aware of what they are supporting. Racism, misogyny, bigotry, homophobia, and transphobia were not hidden in the 2024 campaign — they were the campaign. If the shoe fits, it fits.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should race be considered when drawing legislative boundary lines? The Supreme Court's latest 6–3 decision on redistricting could have sweeping consequences for how political power is allocated across the country. Michael breaks down the complex Louisiana case at the center of the ruling, the clash between constitutional “colorblindness” and protections for minority representation, and what this means for the future of the Voting Rights Act. With potential ripple effects across Southern states and beyond, the episode explores whether fairness demands ignoring race—or confronting it directly. Listen here, then vote!
