Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich., says he is devoted to addressing “systemic inequities” that affect “marginalized communities” like black Americans. Black Americans, however, just sent Thanedar packing.

Michigan’s 13th District includes portions of Detroit in Wayne County. The county has a 37.6% black population—the highest percentage of black residents of any county in the state, according to the United States Census Bureau. And in Tuesday night’s election, Democrat voters chose a black candidate to replace Thanedar on the ballot in November.

In his victory remarks, Democrat Donavan McKinney made sure people knew he, unlike Thanedar, represented the racial profile of the 13th District.

“This is about all of you guys, because the mighty 13th District, a lot of folks don’t know, this is a very diverse district,” McKinney said. “But it encompasses the blackest major city in all of America, the city of Detroit. And we cannot forget what Detroit means not only to our city and our state, but to the world.”

The great irony is that this is exactly the kind of politics Thanedar tried to prop up while in Washington. Thanedar’s website notes that he co-sponsored the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act, as well as a House Resolution stating that America must provide reparation for the effects of slavery on the lives of “millions of Black people in the United States.”

In the age of identity politics, supporting and being are two different things.

Several black Democrats have attempted to primary Thanedar in the last two elections, but Thanedar managed to survive these challenges because those candidates would split the black vote. This is the first time Thanedar has run head-to-head with a black candidate—and he couldn’t hold the seat. 

One reason that Thanedar faced a one-on-one matchup with a black candidate in the primary is due to the continued fallout of the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais.

After Louisiana v. Callais, a Supreme Court ruling that determined congressional districts by race were “unconstitutional racial gerrymandering,” members of the Congressional Black Caucus were worried that black candidates would be increasingly iced out of Congress.

But the Congressional Black Caucus, a group of black representatives in Congress, pledged that it wouldn’t let that happen. 

“The CBC is willing to take any measure necessary to bring a legislative solution to the floor to protect Black voters around the country from this extremist effort to diminish Black voices and access to fair representation,” a statement from the Congressional Black Caucus said.

Michigan’s 13th District was the perfect target for the Congressional Black Caucus because it has a large black population without any “racial gerrymandering.” McKinney received endorsements from a large number of members of the Congressional Black Caucus, whereas Thanedar was only backed by two caucus members.

In previous matchups, Thanedar has been forced to address the tension between his support for identity politics while not being black himself. When BridgeDetroit interviewed Thanedar after he won the primary in 2022, he said, “I do believe that there should be proper proportional representation, not just in Congress but in the Senate and all walks of life, including corporate CEOs and every area.” While admitting that black representation is important, he also noted that “race should not be a factor” in electing a representative.

Race, however, seemed to be a deciding factor in Thanedar’s primary loss Tuesday night.

REUTERS—A federal appeals court ordered President Donald Trump’s administration on Friday to stop construction on a $400 million ballroom on the site of the White House’s demolished East Wing, dealing the Republican leader a major setback in a case testing his presidential authority.

“Each President is a temporary tenant, not the owner, of the White House” and cannot fundamentally reshape it without congressional approval, the Washington-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said in a 2-1 opinion.

The order upheld a preliminary injunction won by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which sued last year after the administration tore down the East Wing and began building a 90,000-square-foot (8,360-square-meter) ballroom without seeking authorization from Congress. 

“Whether or not a massive ballroom should be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not a matter for Executive self-help,” the panel’s majority wrote. “Congress has not ceded unfettered authority to the Executive Branch to dramatically redesign, reshape, and reconstruct the White House — the People’s House — to fit a particular President’s desires.”

The appeals court placed its ruling on hold for 14 days to allow the Trump administration to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The White House and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

National Trust for Historic Preservation President Brent Leggs in a statement said the ruling marked “a great day for our country and for the American people’s right to voice their opinions about the historic places they cherish, including the White House.” 

Trump appealed after U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, an appointee of Republican former President George W. Bush, twice blocked above-ground construction on the site while allowing underground work to continue.

The ballroom plan, which the administration has described as necessary for large formal functions and to preserve the safety of the White House, is the grandest of several Trump efforts to reshape central Washington’s landscape of government buildings and national monuments.

A judge in a separate lawsuit recently said Trump’s name was illegally added to the exterior of the Kennedy Center performing arts venue and ordered its removal.

Appeal to National Security

In the ballroom case, Justice Department attorney Yaakov Roth said during D.C. Circuit arguments on June 5 that the courts have no role in weighing the privately funded project. He said the National Trust’s “architectural preference” should not take precedence over national security concerns, claiming evidence that the former East Wing left the president and others in the White House vulnerable to attack. 

“They ⁠just don’t want to go to Congress,” countered Thaddeus Heuer, a lawyer for the preservation group.

The Democrat-appointed judges in the appeals court’s majority—circuit judges Patricia Millett and Brad Garcia—said their order does not permanently bar construction of a ballroom, but halts above-ground work during the lawsuit and until the White House secures approval from Congress.

“The bold assertion that the Executive can act with utter lawlessness, destroying treasured national landmarks and harming the interests of individuals, and that no court can stop it flouts our constitutional order,” the panel majority said.

Millett and Garcia said national security arguments “are not an automatic get-out-of-law-free card.”

In her dissent, Circuit Judge Neomi Rao, whom Trump appointed during his first term, said the trial judge’s injunction blocking the project “is beyond the proper province of the federal courts” and that construction should be allowed to continue.

“The district court seized supervision of construction at the White House, and my colleagues affirm this judicial overreach,” Rao wrote.

Trump has defended his ballroom and its price tag, which has doubled from initial projections. Trump said in a post on Truth Social in May that the cost rose because “it is approximately twice the ​size, and a far higher quality, than the original ⁠proposal” and promised “it will be magnificent, safe, and secure!”
