black voters

More than 90 percent of African-Americans voted for Doug Jones in Alabama's special Senate election Tuesday and Jones had the support of 98 percent of black women, according to exit polling.

Donald Trump's outreach to African-Americans can't erase his and the GOP's support for tactics that disenfranchise or discourage black voters, writes Mary Curtis in this commentary.

Republicans' outreach to black communities has focused on Cleveland, site of the party's convention this summer. But their modest gains may not last amid the rhetorical fireworks of the 2016 campaign.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump won big across the board, but Ted Cruz pulled off a surprise in Oklahoma, and Marco Rubio finally won his first state in Minnesota.

In 2008, Clinton suffered a crushing defeat as black voters rushed to Barack Obama — the beginning of the end for her campaign. Now, a win in the state would give her momentum for Super Tuesday.

The division among African-American Democrats in South Carolina is a reminder that no group is a monolith. Bernie Sanders is making inroads in what has been considered Clinton Country.
