CBC Condemns Will Lawrence, but Local Black Leaders in Michigan Defend Him
The article reports on a controversy in Michigan's Democratic primary where progressive candidate Will Lawrence criticized older Black establishment leaders for supporting 'establishment, capitalist, imperialist American power.' The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) condemned Lawrence in a radio ad, linking him to helping Trump win Michigan. However, many local Black leaders and voters in Michigan defended Lawrence, arguing that his critique reflects their own frustrations with establishment politics. Examples include Detroit city councilmember Denzel McCampbell and former Michigan official Barbara Roberts Mason. The article also notes a broader racial voting divide in the state, with progressive Abdul El-Sayed leading among white voters but trailing among Black voters. Lawrence's campaign focuses on anti-war politics and grassroots activism.
