Rep. Lauren Underwood on Black Female Voters as the Backbone of The Democratic Party
This week on Nola Haynes Is Not A Spy, Congresswoman Lauren Underwood gets real about power, pressure, and what’s actually happening inside the Democratic Party. From the “92%” conversation to growing frustration among Black women voters, this episode dives into the question no one wants to answer: If Black women are the backbone of the party… why do so many feel overlooked?
They break down:
The Momnibus bill and the fight to end preventable Black maternal deaths.
What it actually looks like to govern during chaos and constant criticism.
Why now is the moment to organize politically and not sit out.
How Black women can leverage their power instead of giving it away.
Plus: a surprisingly deep (and hilarious) debate on Beyoncé’s Act III : gospel, rap, or something else entirely?
