Kristin Powell is the principal of the Black Futures Lab, an organization working to build political power through civic engagement.
Powell sat down with The Hill’s The Switch Up just days after President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed Vice President Harris. Powell highlighted what this change could mean for Black voters.
She also breaks down what the top issues for Black Americans are in 2024, using the Black Futures Lab’s Black Census Project — the largest polling project of Black Americans — and shared what both Harris and former President Trump must do to win over one of the most crucial voting blocs.
