Blue Wave, Black Voters: The Midterm Elections and Southern States

MIDTERMS

One week ago the midterm elections saw a massive blue wave as voters moved many states from Republican red to Democrat blue. Some have called it a blue tsunami or blue-nami. Some of the most notable wins were in Georgia, North Carolina and Texas. This week, we could see another Democratic win in the U.S. Senate race in Mississippi. Democrat Scott Colom holds a narrow lead over Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith. We’re talking about the impact of the blue wave and the black vote in southern states. How it happened. What it means and what’s next.
