Why Mesha Mainor is Abandoning the Democratic Party

from WSJ Opinion: Free Expression · host Gerard Baker, Editor at Large, The Wall Street Journal

Have Democrats taken African-American votes for granted? Could ethnic minorities find a home in the GOP? On this episode of the Free Expression Podcast, Wall Street Journal editor at large Gerry Baker speaks with Georgia State Rep. Mesha Mainor about her decision last week to join the Republican Party and become the first African-American woman elected representative in the state legislature. She explains what Democrats get wrong about issues like school choice and affirmative action and how they continue to look to the past instead of the future.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
