African-American Community
Description
Serious leaders from the African-American community mobilize with urgent alarm over Tom Jordan's all-white fraternity ties and prosecutorial record, channeling racial justice concerns into pointed opposition against his candidacy. This socio-demographic force wields moral authority, public outrage, and electoral leverage to pressure White House staff—Leo and Josh demand campaign cuts, while Sam fights to defend vetted loyalty—exposing fractures in midterm strategy. Lacking formal hierarchy, they drive influence through reputational threats and community consensus, shaping personnel outcomes and policy concessions amid intensifying political stakes.
