James Clyburn\u2019s \u201cWorld Famous Fish Fry\u201d on Friday were feeling triumphant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1943\">These Republicans broke with Trump on the war in Iran<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Clyburn, South Carolina\u2019s longest-serving Black lawmaker and the state\u2019s lone Democrat in Congress, had survived a failed redistricting attempt by state Republicans determined to act after the Supreme Court weakened protections under the Voting Rights Act for majority-Black districts. So as the sun set on a terrace above the Congaree River, in Columbia, a crowd of Black women line-danced to 803Fresh\u2019s \u201cBoots on the Ground\u201d while hot grease popping in deep fryers sent a thick smell of fish through the late-spring air.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But the next act in the drama over Black representation will be driven in part by Democratic leaders, some of them Black, who face a difficult decision. Do they preserve the majority-Black, overwhelmingly Democratic districts in blue states like New York, Illinois, Maryland and New Jersey? Or do they maximize Democratic representation in the House by diluting urban districts dominated by Black voters and expanding their boundaries into the suburbs? Doing the latter would allow them to target Republican House members in those states.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Those new districts would remain Democratic, though less so, but they may no longer be majority-Black. So Black voters could lose power in two ways &#8212; by losing the number of districts they dominate and by losing the number of Black voices in Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It could be an agonizing choice, but with Republicans determined to maximize their own representation, many Black Democrats at the grassroots, state and federal level are firmly in the camp that the party should do what is necessary to expand its power. Black representation is important, but they consider this moment an emergency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to sit back and just accept this cheating and gerrymandering,\u201d said Rep. Gregory Meeks, a close ally of fellow New Yorker Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader. Both men are Black.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the weeks since the Supreme Court\u2019s Voting Rights Act decision, which lowered the bar on what it considered unconstitutional racial gerrymandering, Republican states in the South have led a furious effort to dilute or eliminate congressional districts where majorities of Black voters have typically elected Democrats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Majority-Black districts in Tennessee and Louisiana are gone. One seat long-held by a Black Democrat in North Carolina is teetering. The Supreme Court on Tuesday night gave Alabama Republicans permission to eliminate one majority-Black seat. Georgia and Mississippi are likely to target such seats before 2028.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Beneath the jubilation at his fish fry, Clyburn seemed to acknowledge the anger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI want all of the energy that\u2019s here tonight to be harnessed, much like we harnessed the atom in order to make the atomic bomb,\u201d he implored the crowd from the stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Beyond anger, Democrats are pondering the path back to political power and how far the party should go to attain it. Jeffries last month took on maximalist tones as he rattled off seven states &#8212; New York, New Jersey, Washington, Colorado, Oregon, Illinois and Maryland &#8212; that Democrats would redistrict in response to Republicans \u201cto wipe out any structural advantage that they\u2019re trying to get themselves\u201d in the South.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A central calculation will have to be the value of Black representation and whether Democrat-controlled states should protect highly concentrated urban seats in New York; Newark, New Jersey; Baltimore; Minneapolis; and Chicago, rich in Black voters, or push the boundaries of those districts into whiter suburbs to go after Republican seats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Meeks was clear on which way he wanted to go: \u201cWe can look at seats like mine, for example,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Redrawing districts in Long Island would mean moving voters from his overwhelmingly Democratic district in Queens into two marginally Democratic districts in the western part of the island. That would give them better chances of ousting two Republicans to the east.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe can then win two more seats on Long Island,\u201d Meeks said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Likewise, pushing Democratic voters south from the heavily Black Brooklyn districts represented by Jeffries and Rep. Yvette Clarke would endanger the Staten Island seat held by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe can win seats in upstate New York,\u201d Meeks said. \u201cWe can win seats on Staten Island.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1941\">With Trump in a holding pattern on Iran war, allies and critics worry he risks getting boxed in<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Similarly, reconfiguring Rep. Jonathan Jackson\u2019s Democratic district on the South Side of Chicago to the south and west would push more Democratic voters into a district now held by a Republican, Rep. Darin LaHood. Rep. LaMonica McIver\u2019s overwhelmingly Democratic district in New Jersey could be drained of some voters to target the swing district held by a Republican, Rep. Thomas Kean Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rep. Ilhan Omar\u2019s overwhelmingly Democratic district in Minneapolis could be expanded into the Twin Cities\u2019 Democratic suburbs, starting a chain reaction that would push Democratic voters into a district held by Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Maryland Democrats are likely to extend Rep. Sarah Elfreth\u2019s Democratic district around Annapolis across the Chesapeake Bay into the Eastern Shore to endanger the last Republican House member in the state, Andy Harris. But to do it, they may want to send some voters in Rep. Kweisi Mfume\u2019s strongly Black Democratic district around Baltimore to shore up Elfreth, who is white.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis is not the game we want to play,\u201d Meeks said, \u201cbut this is the game that we are compelled to play.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>Clyburn was hesitant to engage in the debate. He is not just one of the most powerful Black elected officials in America; he is a fierce defender of the South, and he insisted the Republican effort to redistrict the region offends its people. The decision by South Carolina\u2019s Senate to leave the state\u2019s congressional map alone, for now at least, is proof of that, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe South, I think, is doing a great job of searching for a more perfect union and getting there, and that\u2019s what insulted some of the members of the South Carolina Republican Party,\u201d Clyburn said in an interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Clyburn prides himself on the relationships he has built with South Carolina Republicans and is complimentary of those Republicans who joined Democrats to block redrawing his district. He pointed to the rebellious streak of the southern psyche, which resisted President Donald Trump\u2019s demand that the state gerrymander away its last Democratic House seat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI cannot in good conscience surrender this authority that has been preserved to, for and by the states and merely take orders from those who are not in South Carolina,\u201d Shane Massey, the Republican leader of the South Carolina Senate, said during a May floor speech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But Clyburn is also a student of history. And he spoke of the end of Reconstruction, when America abandoned its commitment to the southern freedmen and the courts nullified laws protecting Black civil rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Having a diverse Congress isn\u2019t just good for Black people, Clyburn argued. \u201cThe value is to the country,\u201d he said. It is essential for a legitimate multiracial democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There is real trepidation about losing that racial diversity, whether it is done by Republicans or Democrats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cEvery state should be drawing maps based on their actual constituents,\u201d said Angela Crittenden, a Black South Carolinian at the fish fry. \u201cOur representation is minimal, and it\u2019s because of the illegal gerrymandering of the maps, that\u2019s historically already been enacted upon our maps in South Carolina.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>The gerrymandering wars would not sideline Black voices, state Sen. Deon Tedder of South Carolina said at the fish fry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On the contrary, \u201cBlack voters woke up and realized their power,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe have to fight,\u201d Tedder said. \u201cOur constituents want us to fight. If we continue to sit on the sidelines and go along to get along, we will continue to lose seats, and we will continue to lose power, and we will continue to disenfranchise our own voters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1939\">Ex-national security adviser John Bolton will plead guilty in classified information case: AP source<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span><i>This article originally appeared in <\/i><i>The New York Times<\/i><i>.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Republicans break up majority-Black House districts, Democrats must decide whether to preserve seats concentrated in urban areas or expand districts into white suburbs to target GOP seats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1944,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Democrats\u2019 big decision: Preserve Black representation or more blue seats?
