Though the official winner may not be known for weeks because of the city\u2019s new ranked-choice voting system, Mr. Adams\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/06\/24\/nyregion\/eric-adams-crime-mayor.html\">holds a commanding edge in the race<\/a>\u00a0that will be difficult for his rivals to overcome.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As the Times admitted, the evidence provided by Adams\u2019 support in New York shows \u201ca disconnect between progressive activists and the rank-and-file Black and Latino voters who they say have the most to gain from their agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Liberal elites may claim their policies \u2013 focused on so-called racial justice and combatting alleged white supremacy \u2013 will benefit minority voters, but those voters don\u2019t see it that way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlack people talk about politics in more practical and everyday terms,\u201d Hakeem Jefferson, an assistant professor of political science at Stanford University, told the Times. \u201cWhat makes more sense for people who are often distrustful of broad political claims is something that\u2019s more in the middle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe median Black voter is not A.O.C. and is actually closer to Eric Adams,\u201d he added, referencing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).<\/p>\n<p>This has been an emerging problem for Democrats in recent years, who tend to believe that since they receive the majority of nonwhite votes in elections, their policies are all popular with minority voters. The trend shows otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a massive Democrat and media campaign to claim former President Donald Trump was a racist, he actually increased the Republican share of black and Latino voters in 2016 <em>and<\/em> 2020, making larger gains with those voters than non-college educated white voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn issues beyond criminal justice, data indicates that Black and Latino voters are less likely to identify as liberal than white voters.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/246806\/understanding-shifts-democratic-party-ideology.aspx\">An analysis by Gallup<\/a>\u00a0found that the share of white Democrats who identify as liberal had risen by 20 percentage points since the early 2000s. Over the same period, the polling firm found a nine-point rise in liberal identification among Latino Democrats and an eight-point increase among Black Democrats,\u201d the Times reported.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously reported, this has been a problem for Democrats, who seem to assume Latinos will vote for them and that talking about illegal immigration with a legal immigrant population is a winning strategy.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
