This is wrong, only partisans cared about those two things in the ballot box, what lost suburbia and these Biden-Youngkin districts was the price of gas and the stalling of the infrastructure bill.
Had those passed sooner and had gas not risen, people would feel as if Biden purposefully made their lives better and look away from wedge issues like these.
It was a combination of the three issues: inflation, CRT, and Covid-19 policies.
I saw a lot of Asian parents that were pissed off about the school boards.
Hispanics were irked over Covid-19 policies and inflation.
White Suburban women were pissed about the price of food and gas rising, as well as the school board issues.
This is evidenced by the polls that asked people to provide the most important issue during election. The economy, schools, and crime were issues that continued to grow as triggers voter motivation and enthusiasm. It was also evident that people were losing faith in Biden's handling of Covid-19, as voters went from +10 Biden to split on whether the President was mishandling the crisis.
