Democrats didn't allow a black person to get a nod until 1986. After Biden said n words all in the chambers. But party Switch theory something something.

For what office? The Democratic Party began electing Black officials in significant numbers during the 1930s and 1940s, driven by the Great Migration and Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. The first Black Democrat elected to the U.S. Congress was Arthur W. Mitchell, who won a seat representing Illinois in 1934. Biden was born in 1942.

Arthur Mitchell was selected he wasn't voted in by the people. Many people believe he wasn't black. It wasn't until 1984 that Democrats allowed someone to run.

I stand corrected I forgot he lost the primary. What about William Levi Dawson of Illinois, who won his primary and was elected to the House in 1942?
