For Democrats to win control of the Senate, Georgia’s Black communities, as well as the state's smaller Hispanic and Asian communities, likely need to vote in the Jan. 5 runoff election by history-making margins. An Associated Press VoteCast survey of Georgia voters in November found that 22% of white voters chose Warnock and 28% chose Ossoff, compared to the 90% of Black voters who chose Ossoff and 73% who chose Warnock. Democrats also have an opportunity to capture the 15% of Black voters who chose Matt Lieberman, another Democratic candidate who competed against Warnock in last month’s race. There are signs that turnout in Georgia could indeed be high in the runoffs. “Do you have a plan to vote in the runoff election?” another canvasser, Graco Hernandez Valenezuela, asked Tyrone Vereen, a 62-year-old Black retired police officer who answered the door.

The Virginia Department of Health is hosting several informational sessions regarding COVID-19 vaccine information this month.

(AP Photo/Jeff Amy)LILBURN, Ga. – As Georgia heads into two key runoffs that will determine control of the U.S. Senate, Democrats are hoping to count on Latino voters who helped tilt the state blue in November. Many of those who can vote are young adults, with about 20,000 Georgia Latinos turning 18 each year, according to census figures. But Latino voters could be part of a coalition just big enough for Ossoff and Warnock to win. Georgia is multilingual and multiethnic,” said Gigi Pedraza, executive director of Georgia’s Latino Community Fund, which has helped mobilize Latino voters. Jason Anavitarte was a national Latino adviser to Trump this year and won a state Senate seat northwest of Atlanta as a Republican.

He courted Hispanic voters near Miami and Black voters in Atlanta. “This is an unusual name for an organization whose ideology and tactics are right now destroying many Black lives,” Trump charged. On Friday morning, at his golf club in Doral, Florida, Trump tried to blunt Biden’s support among Hispanic voters at a “Latinos for Trump” roundtable. But a Monmouth University poll also conducted this month found Biden well ahead of Trump among Latino voters in the state, 58% to 32%. Hispanic voters in Florida tend to be somewhat more Republican-leaning than Hispanic voters nationwide because of the state’s Cuban American population, which Trump acknowledged several times in his remarks.

That's fueling an urgent effort by Biden, Harris and their allies to shore up older voters, suburbanites and African Americans to make up for potential shortcomings elsewhere. If Biden reclaims the upper Midwest for Democrats, he won’t need Florida to capture the presidency. Hispanic voters in Florida tend to be somewhat more Republican-leaning than Hispanic voters nationwide because of the state’s Cuban American population. Nationally, little public polling is available to measure the opinions of Latino voters this year and whether they differ from four years ago. “As we get closer to November you’re going to see an even greater amount of activity to turn out Latino voters," Alex said.

Biden has struggled to build enthusiasm among young voters, and some Democrats have expressed concerns about what they see as the campaign's lack of outreach to Latino voters, which Sanders echoed on MSNBC. How do we get them to vote?”A Biden campaign adviser, Symone Sanders, was asked Sunday on ABC's “This Week” whether the campaign would take Sanders' advice. “The enthusiasm is with Trump, not with Biden,” Sanders said. The Biden campaign has focused much of its early efforts on those three states, with Biden and running mate Kamala Harris visiting all three in recent weeks. While Sanders made his concerns public in recent interviews, he also has expressed them in private to the Biden campaign, according to Faiz Shakir, Sanders’ former presidential campaign manager.

Between 2012 and 2017, death rates climbed 21% among white and black adults age 25 to 44, and 13% among Hispanic adults in that age group. When examined by race, the data showed that Hispanic adults continued to experience higher life expectancy than white and black adults. For adults age 45 to 64, the researchers found that death rates for white adults were stable before increasing 9% from 2010 to 2017. For black adults age 45 to 64, the researchers found that, after falling between 2000 and 2011, death rates increased 4% through 2017; whereas death rates among Hispanic adults remained stable from 2011 through 2017. Death rates for Hispanic, white and black adults age 65 and older declined overall between 2000 and 2017, the researchers found.
