Key Notes
Jiang frames Biden's 2020 victory as numerically large in popular votes but structurally narrow because the Electoral College margin could be described as roughly 65,000 key-state votes.
Jiang argues that older Black voters supported Biden in 2020 partly from loyalty to Obama's vice president, but that by 2024 the debt has been paid and Biden must answer what he has done for them.
Jiang argues that inflation, illegal immigration, and Ukraine aid damage Biden among Black and poorer voters by lowering living standards and making Biden look like a bad leader.
Jiang predicts that Gaza protests will cause some young voters to sit out rather than vote for Biden, even if they will not vote for Trump.
Jiang argues that suburban voters tend to prefer status quo, conservative, unifying leadership, which made Biden's steady establishment image attractive in 2020.
Jiang argues that Harris attacking Biden in the 2019 debate and then becoming his running mate created a redemption story that made Biden look forgiving, listening, team-oriented, and empathetic.
Jiang describes 'doesn't hold grudges,' 'listens,' 'team player,' and 'empathy' as the anti-Trump traits that helped move suburban women toward Biden.
