Ahead of January's runoff election in Georgia, the Black church has
been, once again, thrust into the spotlight as an organizing force for
voters and as a point of contention for conservatives. POLITICO reporter
Maya King talks with Dr. Freddy Haynes, senior pastor at Dallas' massive
Friendship West church, about the historic role that the Black church
has played in American politics, from Harriet Tubman to Martin Luther
King, Jr. to Senate runoff candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock, and what he's
hoping to see from a Biden-Harris administration.
