The Switch Up Election Series: CBC chair unravels what's at stake for Black voters
As chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) leads a host of 60 members in advocating for the needs of Black Americans.
On the latest edition of The Switch Up's Election Series, Horsford unravels what’s at stake for Black voters in the upcoming election, now less than six weeks away. He also highlights that it’s not just the presidential election where Americans could see history made but also in the House and Senate.
Horsford also discusses how the CBC plans to continue pushing for the needs of Black Americans in Congress and how the caucus's Black Wealth Agenda could help close the racial wealth gap.
Listen above.
The Switch Up podcast series — hosted by The Hill’s Cheyanne M. Daniels — explores the intersection of race and politics through intimate conversations with leading scholars, advocates and legislators from communities of color. Follow The Switch Up on Spotify.
