Democrats are finally prioritizing Black voters, winning notes or approval from advocacy groups who represent one of the party's most loyal constituencies — one they say has too often been taken for granted. The ascension of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to lead House Democrats as a successor to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and President Biden's push to make South Carolina the party's first primary state illustrate how the party is recognizing the importance of Black voters, advocates say. |

OPINION | At a certain point, all decisions and election chances in politics come down to basic math. No matter how some consultants, pollsters or campaign managers may attempt to complicate the process to justify their fees or salaries paid by a candidate or company, it still comes down to this: Does the math finish on the "plus side" for him or her to run, and does it finish on the plus side for the candidate to win? |

Typical retiree savings, in fact, can cover only a few years of median U.S. household spending. No wonder, then, that Social Security looms so large in retirement resources. Two in five elderly individuals receive half or more of their income from the system. Close to one in eight are entirely dependent on its benefits. Even those of greater means need the system's support. Future benefit claims represent the second largest retirement asset for a significant fraction of high-income older consumers. |
