were gains by Republicans among minority voters.<\/p>\n<p>According to the AP VoteCast survey, GOP House candidates got 14% of the black vote, almost twice the 8% of the black vote Republicans captured in 2020 and 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The difference between the percentage of black votes that Democrats got compared with Republicans was 68 points, versus a difference of 83 points in the 2020

points, versus 76 points in 2020 and 75 in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican Party is most aggressively taking root among younger black voters.<\/p>\n<p>Per Pew Research, 28% of black Republicans are ages 18 to 29, compared with 17% of black Democrats and 10% of white Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>My own sense is that younger blacks are less inclined to think of themselves primarily by race and less inclined to think of their future in terms of racial-group identity politics.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\"

This makes sense. These younger black Americans are thinking about their future and have a sense of realism that their future is about their own efforts as opposed to racially driven government programs.<\/p>\n<p>Per Pew, 45% of black Republicans, in contrast to 21% of black Democrats,  say that the future of black Americans depends on their own efforts. About half as many black Republicans compared with black Democrats \u2014 44% versus 73% \u2014 see racial discrimination as the main barrier to black progress and achievement.<\/p>\n<p>So change is underway, and this is good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>.

This demographic snapshot shows the future ethnic profile of the country: It is becoming dramatically less white.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>In 2022, 72% of voters were white, and 58% of them voted Republican, accounting for 42% of the overall Republican vote. If the overall profile looked like it does among 18- to 29-year-old voters, 56% white rather than 72%, with no change in the percentage voting Republican, 58%, white voters would be delivering 32% of Republican votes rather than 42%.<\/p>\n<p>It should be clear that, with the US population dramatically shifting to non-white Americans, there must be a corresponding dramatic increase in the percentage of non-white Americans voting for Republicans or we can expect the country to continue to transform to big government and moral relativism.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP improvements (14% of black voters and 39% of Hispanic voters voting Republican in 2022) are not enough. Republicans should be taking a closer look at the positive dynamics driving young blacks to the GOP and use this message to reach more minority Americans.<\/p>\n<p>That is, don\u2019t bank your future on racial politics.
