Black Voters, the 2024 Election, and a Second Trump Administration
- Virtual
- 1PM – 2PM EDT
In the lead up to the 2024 presidential election, Black voters attracted lots of attention for the role they could play in deciding swing states and for a steady increase in Republican support. Early exit polls following Donald ¹ú²úÊÓÆµ victory suggest that he won more Black voters than any Republican nominee in 40 years – and also that Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris still won nearly 90 percent of the Black electorate.
The Black electorate is unique in its near-uniformity, even as other groups have grown more evenly divided between the parties. What lessons can we learn about Black voters from this election? And are their politics realigning?
Join ¹ú²úÊÓÆµ's Us@250 Initiative and the Political Reform Program on November 21st from 1-2pm EST for a panel discussion about the election and Black America during a second Trump administration. This conversation will consider reporting from the campaign trail, short and long terms trends, and the outlook for Black political behavior.
Speakers:
Ted Johnson, Senior Advisor and head of the Us@250 Initiative, will be in conversation with , Associate Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University and a CNN contributor, and , a politics reporter for The New York Times.
