Failed Senate candidate Mandela Barnes claims he didn’t receive enough support because he was one of many "candidates of color," according to a Politico report.
Barnes’ aides reportedly told Politico that his failed Senate campaign "was something more than a missed opportunity — it was a painful example of how candidates of color continue to face questions about their ability to win."
