“Why is she so disliked??”
Black women just don’t do well as Republicans in elections, as why, anyone’s guess. Maybe it’s non-White Republicans not be very interested in voting for black candidates, but that’s a guess.
Part of the reason why the Republicans in the House, despite barely having a majority several years ago, voted to kick out George Santos was that they had the PERFECT candidate to replace him - and she was perfect (from a conservative viewpoint), but she was black, and she got trounced, and so we lost that seat long before we should have (typical GOP, getting a bit ‘cute’).
She wasn’t well known and also running against Tom Suozzi who was well known and, despite the fact i wanted him to lose, had a lot of moderate positions that appealed to voters- such as his stance against biden’s immigration policies...
