It remains to be seen whether the coming wave of Black conservative candidates can spur legions of Black voters, the Democratic Party's most loyal constituency, to vote Republican. But judging by recent races featuring a Black GOP candidate—lieutenant governor races in Virginia and North Carolina, a Kentucky attorney general campaign and the last two U.S. Senate races in Michigan—the party has reason to be hopeful. Exit polls showed these Black Republican candidates drew slightly larger, potentially decisive shares of Black votes compared to the white Republicans running alongside them for other offices in their states. Indeed, North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron and unsuccessful U.S. Senate hopeful John James in Michigan were the top vote-getting Republicans in their states in their most recent races, indicating they both excited the GOP base and drew crossover votes.
"Some Republicans are savvy enough to understand that if they win 10 to 15 percent of Black voters in state and local elections, they can win—and there are ways to actually do this," says Johns Hopkins University political science professor Leah Wright Rigueur, author of the 2016 book, The Loneliness of the Black Republican.

Ok I’ll say it. All this proves is that blacks are racist. And apparently for some that’s A-OK.
Yeah, right. This nonsense again. Thank you GOP Chairman Michael Steele.
same old GOPE playbook. it’s all just bs.
run real populist, America First Constitutional conservatives: white, hispanic, asian (hello are there any?), and black. Royce White for instance.
Hopefully, someday it is going to dawn on them that they are nothing but slaves on the DNC plantation.
Except when those black conservatives are Bush League Republicans like Tim Scott.
Then they assist the Democrats to keep importing a permanent majority.
First person I thought of.
Blacks are racist and selfish, they don't understand or care about America, and there's no hope they'll ever change and become equal to other Americans.
On this basis we shall plot our party's path forward which will rely on the support of blacks like this for our success.
Brilliant!
The GOP thinks the Unicorn votes will get them over the top.
That is why they are called the “stupid party”.
How about keeping campaign promises to folks who voted for you — rather than try to get along with the Democrats at any cost — for a change?
Have you seen Steele lately? He's an on ongoing testimony to the brilliance and integrity of the GOP Establishment!
Your post is so unfair—when blacks took control of South Africa and Zimbabwe they treated whites there as equals under the law....
oh wait.
Because the Democrat party has done so much for the black family. The Jim Crow party should not have any sort of lock on anyone with an ounce of common sense.
Content of character is ALL that matters!
That may or may not be true, but just the same this is politics and a particularly dirty version. Do what you have to do to keep Biden from a 2nd term and grab the House and Senate. It's clearly better than what we have now.
Hispanics are the future of the GOP unless Whitey decides to stop aborting or fagatizing themselves out of existence.
Trump won 2020 by a huge margin. To call this a lie means you must accept that the Vegetable got 81 million legal votes -- more than any previous president ever, including Obozo.
The Rats stole it, but never forget that they could not have stolen anything without RINO-controlled state legislatures turning a blind eye to massive voter fraud on a scale never seen before with the cheat-by-mail-in ballots and drop off boxes.
No more RINOs = No more stolen elections.
Make sure to vote in your republican primary, especially in the state legislature, and send the RINO traitors packing.
Of course, when the GOP says black conservatives, they mean black democrats posing as conservatives.
