To Repubs bracing for the Blacklash:
I warned you.
In May.
The convergence of his successful intimidation campaign in Indiana and the Supreme Court’s termination of majority-minority districts will tempt the GOP to lunge for more seats.
But they do so at their own risk. Not only may Republicans unwittingly create more competitive races for their own members, they will energize Democrats and set back their party in ways that will linger beyond this president.
To you Republicans coveting new seats and considering whether to move forward: caveat emptor.
...
In their rush to grab an extra seat or two, Southern Republicans should consider what may happen to their 2024 gains with Black voters.
Do you think GOP nominees will get 21 percent of Black men, as Trump is estimated to have received in 2024, in future elections when you’re handing Democrats perhaps the easiest racial messaging they’ve had in the post-Civil Rights era? In case you needed a primer, that would be: You can’t trust Republicans, they only want to silence your voice.
