I have thoughts, but I'm watching very closely as this develops.

So let's stop talking about "electability" when it comes to Black candidates. Folks have been humbled and proven wrong tonight. Find a different excuse to not want to vote for a Black man, because "electability"(or lack thereof) is no longer a reason.
Madison's win is also noteworthy because the 10th AD was a majority Black district under old maps, but dropped to 45.8% BVAP under new lines.
Some raised concerns higher turnout white areas would make it difficult for Black candidate to win.
Madison took 58% of vote.
