Black Women Seek to Bring Change to GOP
Originally published by Cheyanne McDaniels for The Hill
A new generation of Black women is seeking to bring change and diversity to the GOP as the party looks to broaden its appeal with constituencies that have long shunned it.
While Black women have made history in numerous political areas over the last four years — including Vice President Harris, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sen. Laphonza Butler — most have been aligned with the Democratic Party.
But in recent years, Black women have increasingly made inroads in the Republican Party, signaling a possible shift in the makeup of a party grappling with weaknesses among female voters and voters of color.
