Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester is the first woman and person of color to represent the state of Delaware. | Susan Walsh/AP PhotoDemocrats have a chance to send more Black women to the Senate in 2024 than have ever served in the chamber in its 234-year history. Those hoping to break that particular glass ceiling have a message for the party: Don’t blow it.
“The Democratic Party has got to come to Jesus, if you will, and figure out what they really stand for,” said former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun , the first of only two Black women elected to the Senate. “They talk about Black women being the base. It’s one thing to talk about somebody being your base and then turn around and not return the favor when Black women are trying to get elected.
