But will they vote for President Trump and Republicans?
“But will they vote for President Trump and Republicans?”
Million dollar question. Back in the mid 80’s, I wrote a paper for a Pol Sci class about political realignment in the South.
At the time, Southerners were starting to realize that it was OK to vote for a Republican for President or maybe Governor or Senate - but on the rest of the ballot, they voted Democrat. It was taken a number of election cycles to come true - but many white Southerners now vote GOP from to bottom.
I’m not sure we’ll see much movement of blacks to the GOP in this election cycle. We’ll have to look at 2020 and see if their support for Trump shows in the voting booth and then 2022 to see if there is slow increase for GOP candidates in the below ballot races.
