Midterms Point to Reshaped Map for 2020

November 13, 2018 at 7:14 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Bloomberg: “The midterm elections reshaped the 2020 presidential campaign landscape by taking some longstanding battlegrounds off the map while adding new swing states, presenting challenges for President Trump and the crowd of Democrats eager to run against him.”

“Perhaps the most significant shift in 2018 came in upscale, highly educated suburban areas that had voted Republican for generations and broke for Democrats this year.”

Said GOP consultant Brad Todd: “We can’t let the suburbs become a part of the realignment. Democrats’ numbers in urban areas and coastal areas are skyrocketing, much like our numbers are in the heartland. Suburban seats in California and the Northeast are going to continue to be difficult for us. But we need to win suburban seats in the Sun Belt and the Midwest.”
