      A seismic eruption of Black women’s political power could soon make history on a national ticket as they demand a return on their investment and loyalty to the Democratic Party ahead of November's presidential election.http://apne.ws/rbXaHQj

      In Georgia's Cobb County, that political power is center stage as Black women have won offices after @StaceyAbrams' run for governor. In that election, more than 51,000 Black women in Cobb County cast ballots — 20,000 more than four years earlier. http://apne.ws/YItrShP pic.twitter.com/euVPHO1WBK

      "We’ve been watching from the sidelines and allowing other people to take their turns, and take these positions of power,” said Charisse Davis, a Cobb County school board member. http://apne.ws/hSijK2g pic.twitter.com/xhFAlMkzjn

      The power of Black voters was demonstrated when they transformed Joe Biden's presidential bid after his commanding South Carolina primary win. Black women made up about 1/3 of Democratic voters there. About 2/3 voted for him, says an AP VoteCast survey. http://apne.ws/02E0QxV pic.twitter.com/BN5l1dPOCs

      Biden has pledged a woman will be his running mate. At least six contenders are Black — including California Rep. Karen Bass, who said Black women want "representation, acknowledgement, inclusion” in this pivotal moment. http://apne.ws/v51q9uw pic.twitter.com/lC7ksvICgl

          “You have taken our votes for granted for years. But guess what? It’s payback time: What are you going to do for us?” asked Bev Jackson, an organizer in a once-red Georgia county that’s quickly turning blue as it elects Black women. http://apne.ws/RgI3wEa pic.twitter.com/UQjr2Dyixk

          Meet Georgia resident Audrey McNeal, 18, who thinks she’ll be secretary of state one day. And then, maybe, president. “We’re capable of organizing, moving the conversation, even if we aren’t in these rooms. It’s about time we represent ourselves.” http://apne.ws/M3YpO6Q pic.twitter.com/SP9fWrFU3l

          Literally all 6 black women cited as possibilites are either congresswomen, national security advisors, or mayors, all of which I would call a far cry from unqualified
