Reporting on the three Black women – two prosecutors and one judge – currently confronting Donald Trump in court, Vanessa Gallman cites our report on prosecutor demographics.
[Trump] insinuates that the prosecutions are part of a vast conspiracy to replace white people. Yet, there were only 33 Black women — less than 2% — among the nation’s 2,100 elected chief prosecutors in 2022, according to the Reflective Democracy Campaign. And even with President Joe Biden’s successful push to get more women of color into judgeships, there are 59 Black women — 4% — among the 1,409 sitting federal judges.
