Rep. McCormick to Newsmax: Black Ga. Males Shifting to Republicans

By    |   Tuesday, 05 November 2024 09:38 PM EST

Rep. Richard McCormick, R-Ga., told Newsmax on Tuesday that the Black vote in Georgia "is shifting back toward the Republican Party."

While Black voters have traditionally support the Democratic Party, the election of 2024 might give Republicans their largest share of the Black male vote in decades. McCormick said while so many noble civil rights movements started in Georgia, many Black people haven't seen progress "since the Martin Luther King era."

"The Democrats have stood in the way of progress," McCormick said on "Newsline." "They have held back inner-city Black voters from what they need to achieve the opportunities. They're disenfranchised and they're tired of it.

"And I think especially the Black males have realized, you know what? This isn't about personality. This is about legislative efforts that are going to help our communities move past poverty."

McCormick said Black voters are looking for alternatives to the Democrats' playbook of more "government programs."

"They want opportunities," he said. "They want better education. I think you're going to see a shift in demographics that's going to continue into the next couple decades. So I'm really excited about it."
