Professor calls on Democrats to stop using term 'people of color' as Latino and Black voters side with Trump
Fox News
University of California, Berkeley professor Jerel Ezell argued in an op-ed for Politico that Democrats should stop relying on traditional racial politics to win elections.
"The 2024 presidential election left the Democrats’ multiracial coalition in tatters," Ezell wrote. "Nonwhite people voted in higher percentages for Trump in 2024 than they did in 2020, in some cases by double-digit increases. Democrats are now in the thick of a come-to-Jesus reckoning over these losses, and it should begin with this obvious truth: There is no deep cultural, social, economic or political linkage between Black, Latino, Indigenous and Asian Americans — at least not one that can be leveraged by the party for votes." Jeffrey Clark is an associate editor for Fox News Digital. He has previously served as a speechwriter for a cabinet secretary and as a Fulbright teacher in South Korea. Jeffrey graduated from the University of Iowa in 2019 with a degree in English and History.

"In November, Latinos swung hard for Trump, and the former president had a notable hike in support from Asians," Ezell continued. "Indigenous voters, crucial in helping Biden win Arizona and Wisconsin in 2020, had no such effect in the vital swing states this go-round, although a majority still voted for Democrats. Black voters remained Democrats’ bulwark, albeit a compromised one, with Kamala Harris netting 8 out of 10 Black voters, down from Biden’s 9 out of 10 in 2020."
