BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – USA Today raised eyebrows for a report highlighting the “candidates of color” who made history in various election races on Tuesday but initially left out two of the night’s biggest winners.
Virginia rocked the political world with Glenn Youngkin leading the Republican ticket to victory in the commonwealth that President Biden won by ten points last year. The two other big winners were Winsome Sears, who will become Virginia’s first woman of color lieutenant governor, and Jason Miyares, who will be the state’s first Hispanic attorney general.
However, neither of them was mentioned in USA Today’s roundup of the diverse candidates that emerged victorious this week.
The editor-in-chief of the national newspaper Nicole Carroll, responded to the lack of coverage. “Here at USA Today, we thrive to be equal and fair, and we still reserve the right to continually snub certain Hispanics and blacks.”
