Black voters in South Carolina and other southern states are turning out in defiance of what many see as President Donald Trumps efforts to suppress their political power, fueling Democratic hopes of clinching upset wins in the region in this falls midterm elections, the Washington Post reports.
A surge in Black voter engagement is energizing close Senate races in North Carolina and Georgia, where Democrats go into the summer with leads in many polls. Some Democrats see a chance of long-shot victories in South Carolina, such as ousting longtime incumbent Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) and flipping the congressional seat vacated by Rep. Nancy Mace (R).
