2020 Democrats have started to clash over slavery reparations, but a new INSIDER poll shows most liberals support the idea.
2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks during a rally, Saturday, March 9, 2019, at the Iowa state fairgrounds in Des Moines, Iowa.The issue of reparations to descendants of slaves is a growing debate in the race for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.
About half of respondents were asked about the topic with an explicit reference to reparations:"Do you agree or disagree that families who have ancestors who were enslaved in the US are entitled to reparations to offset the long-term financial impacts of the theft of that labor?" Setting aside the framing, the poll showed that 64% of respondents who said they were black Americans supported reparations, compared to just 25% of white respondents and 37% of Asian American respondents. Meanwhile, roughly 42% of Hispanic or Latino voters would support reparations, according to the poll.
In this sense, the poll's findings suggest it could be politically savvy for Democratic candidates to support reparations or at least be open to the discussion if they hope to win over voters who tend to support their party.While the a precise policy to pay reparations has not emerged, Democrats vying for the party's presidential nomination have started to clash over the issue and the gaps between the candidates were highlighted by a recent back-and-forth between Sen.
Castro has since gone after Sanders over his suggestion that reparations should not occur in the form of a check and slammed the senator's policy positions.
