Black Republicans Work to Increase Their Ranks

Clip: 10/4/2020 | 7m 44sVideo has Closed Captions

Why some Black Chicagoans are casting their vote with the Grand Old Party.

Compared to the rest of the country, Republicans are a rarity in Chicago. Between 10%-15% of Chicago voters punch their ballots with the GOP. And Republicans are even tougher to find in the Black community, which has voted overwhelmingly Democratic since the mid-1960s.
