One thing I'm surprised more people are talking about is how despite many suburbs swinging hard left, many city centers like Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Dallas, LA, ect, ect swung right. For the most part, these cities are so one sided that only winning a district 80-20 as opposed to 90-10 isn't going to make a difference, but if the GOP can continue to make gains in these city centers as Trump did, it might cancel out some of the suburban trend, and could potentially bring states like NY and IL into play down the road. What do you think?
I don't think it's actually a trend but more of a COVID specific thing. There's a lot of service workers in cities who normally wouldn't vote for a Republican but were opposed to another round of lockdowns because they feared losing their jobs. It's actually more likely IMO that the suburbs trend back ever so slightly post-Trump then we see any lasting gains for Republicans in the cities.
