Politico: “Donald Trump says Joe Biden wants to abolish the suburbs. But polls show a different truth: The suburbs want to abolish Donald Trump. If current numbers hold, the Republican Party will suffer its worst defeat in the suburbs in decades — with implications reaching far beyond November.”
“It was in the suburbs two years ago that Democrats built their House majority, ripping through Republican-held territory across the country, from Minnesota and Texas to Georgia, Virginia and Illinois. It would be bad enough for the GOP if that had been a temporary setback. But with the prospect of a second straight collapse in the suburbs this year, it is beginning to look like a wholesale retreat.”
“‘We can’t give up more ground in the suburbs nationally without having a real problem for our party,’ said Charles Hellwig, a former chair of the Republican Party in Wake County, N.C., describing a landscape in which ‘every year, every month, every day, we get a little bluer.'”
