Quote of the Day
“Democrats cannot conceive that non-white voters are anything other than civil rights voters," he said. "In their mind, all Latinos need to be taught to like farmworkers or the undocumented. Even though that's less than 95% of us.”
New data shows that Democrats' longtime advantage with Black, Latino and Asian American voters has shrunk to its lowest point in more than 60 years — creating a massive vulnerability for President Biden and congressional Democrats.
