For the first time since its creation, the Hampton Roads Black Caucus has endorsed the statewide Republican ticket of Glenn Youngkin, Winsome Sears and Jason Miyares.
Yes, the Democrat ticket is that bad, and its traditional supporters are catching on.
I am a former Chairman of the Tidewater Libertarian Party and was the 2007 LP candidate for the 14th district VA Senate. Previously, I was the Volunteer State Director for the FairTax. I am married 50 years with two grown children and 5 grandchildren.

RE: “Yes, the Democrat ticket is that bad, and its traditional supporters are catching on.”
Perhaps a good example of “trickle down” in the marketplace of ideas.
What is really suspicious is that even after 3 days and the national (FOX) news reporting on it, it has not appeared in the Pilot. (and I reported it to their tip line Saturday)
That would be 2012 and they endorsed two Democrats, McAuliffe and Northam.
I tried to find some information about HRBC and got little except the endorsement news. Their website is on loan for free from GoDaddy, but is apparently available to the next paying customer.
It is news that Black voters would support a Republican. But this seems like a fringe group that would be part of the 5-12% of Black Americans who might not vote Democrat.
Trump picked up a few percentage points among predominantly Black urban districts in the 2020 election. So the monolithic support for Democrats is not as solid as it was under Obama.
Again, we have two very rich candidates who want to represent the commoners.
Not saying this is not news, but until we see who these people are, I might take this as a minor newsflash for Republican talking points.
