Senate Democrats are facing growing pressure to break the white male
stranglehold on senior staff positions in their ranks — a push that's
uniting consultants and lobbyists inside the Beltway with Black Lives Matter
and other minority leaders who are accusing the party of “soft bigotry."
The attacks are prompting uncomfortable discussions among Democrats even as
they welcome their historic Senate freshman class, which includes the
chamber’s first Latina and Indian-American members.
Frustrations over the lack of diversity among the ranks of top Senate
Democratic aides began seeping into public view after Hillary Clinton’s
stunning loss deprived the party’s donors and lobbyists of a critical
opening to build on the Obama administration’s minority-hiring efforts. Now
, activists are shaming Senate Democrats, noting that the chamber’s only
African-American chief of staff works for Republican Sen. Tim Scott. And
civil rights groups are holding a public conference call on Thursday to
escalate their campaign for more diverse hiring by newly elected senators.
