Black voters test the socialist left's ceiling

Black voters may determine whether the Democratic Socialists of America can build on 2026 breakthroughs, as nearly two-thirds of Black Democrats remain neutral toward socialist leaders. Angie Nixon's upset win in Florida's Democratic Senate primary made her the first DSA member to win a major-party statewide nomination. Among Black Democrats, 23% of those 18-49 like socialist leaders versus 20% of those 50 and older.
