CBC Condemns Will Lawrence, Local Black Leaders in Michigan Back Him Up
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, releasing a radio ad accusing him of 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 that fail to address issues like police violence, bank bailouts, and voting rights. The piece also contextualizes this within broader progressive struggles to connect with older Black voters, citing polling showing Abdul El-Sayed losing Black voters to Haley Stevens despite his work in Detroit.
