Hello there I'm Chuck Todd.

This is the Chuck Todd cast.

In 2020, Black voters turned out in large numbers for Joe Biden, giving him a nearly

19-point win over Bernie Sanders during the primaries, proving once again the power of

the Democratic Party's most loyal constituency.

That influence is written in the work of politically active Black pastors who get souls to the polls,

crown winners with endorsements, even run for office themselves.

But is that power-waining in a party that's considered more secular and more elite than ever?

This week I meet the press reports, we look at the role of the Black Church and how it plays

in the Democratic Party and how it could be changing.

I guess today is Joshua Johnson, he's host of now tonight with Joshua Johnson and his

report leads this week's episode.

So Joshua, it's good to see you sir.

Likewise, how's it going?

It's going.

It's going.

It's interesting that we play in this episode about to do it this week a couple of months

ago.

And here it happens to be the week that we at least potentially find out what the Supreme

Court is going to do on abortion.

And abortions actually, one of these issues that actually doesn't have a wedge sometimes

inside the Black Church and in Democratic politics.
