Candidates Seeks To Attract Powerful Black Vote in Key 2026 Midterm Elections

As control of the U.S. Senate hangs in the balance, both Democrats and Republicans are competing aggressively for Black voters in several high-profile races, particularly in Texas, Mississippi and Michigan. In all three of these states the race for senator may depend greatly on who Blacks support. Blacks are most concerned about affordability and the economy, Black healthcare disparities, and social justice. For decades, Black voters have been one of the Democratic Party's most reliable constituencies, but strategists in both parties say turnout, enthusiasm and voter engagement could prove decisive in this year's midterm elections. In several battleground states, campaigns are investing heavily in Black media, churches, community events and grassroots organizing. In Texas, Democrat James Talarico is seeking to keep Black voters firmly in the Democratic column as he faces Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton in one of the nation's most closely watched Sena...

COMMENTARY: Is Byron Donalds Qaulified to Speak For Black People As A Whole?

The perspective that Black identity has defined cultural, historical, and ancestral boundaries—rather than being a fluid category open to anyone with dark skin— is a prominent subject of debate within modern sociology, civil rights advocacy, and Black political thought.

He speaks loudly about historical Black experiences and as if he has authority and does not have a biological connection to foundational Black Americans. He uses stats to say Blacks wer...

Trump Highlights Private-Sector Role in Fighting Cyber Fraud

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that his administration is mobilizing private-sector companies to combat cyber fraud, hacking and online predators. He pointed to a national security memorandum he signed in August, which he said empowers businesses to use their technology, expertise and resources for both offensive and defensive cyber operations. The initiative is intended to strengthen efforts to stop hackers and other malicious actors threatening Americans and national security. The August 12 memorandum authorizes vetted private companies to conduct targeted cyber surveillance and disruptive operations against foreign-based criminal organizations, but only under federal government direction and oversight. The administration says the effort targets ransomware, phishing, financial fraud, sextortion and impersonation scams. The policy also raises questions about legal liability, oversight and the risks of expanding private companies’ role in offensive cyber operations. The Wh...
