Will Democratic 2028 presidential candidates be forced to embrace reparations to win primaries?
Several Congressional Black Caucus members now openly demand them.
Al Sharpton supports them.
Kamala Harris supports a commission to study slavery and recommend remedies.
Polls consistently show strong support for reparations among black voters—and strong opposition among white voters.
If Harris runs, what will Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, JB Pritzker and other Democrats do?
In a Democratic primary—especially in early states like South Carolina, where black voters make up a large share of the Democratic electorate—can a candidate oppose reparations and still win?
Republicans would love this debate. Democrats? Not so much.
