Only two Black women have ever served in the U.S. Senate. However, three Black women have a good chance of getting elected to the chamber next year.
A trio of retirements from long-serving Democrats makes it likely that at least one more Black woman could be joining the Senate. Additionally, Democratic Rep. Colin Allred — a biracial former Obama administration official — is challenging Sen. Ted Cruz in Texas, a contest Cruz is currently favored to win.
Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., announced in May that he would be retiring following the end of his fourth term next year. During that speech, he offered an immediate endorsement for his replacement: Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, who worked in Carper’s office during his time in Congress and as governor. later this month, and the party is already unifying around her, likely cutting off any serious primary threat. A spokesperson for Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told Politico that the Senate majority leader had spoken to Rochester following Carper's announcement and told her"he believes she could be a really good senator, and he looks forward to sitting down with her soon."
