model

model

Jiang argues that suburban voters tend to prefer status quo, conservative, unifying leadership, which made Biden's steady establishment image attractive in 2020.

Retrospective diagnosis of 2020 pandemic politics.

diagnosis

Jiang says the pandemic damaged Trump in the suburbs because families with children and older voters saw his handling as incompetent.

Retrospective diagnosis of the 2020 Biden-Harris ticket.

diagnosis

Jiang identifies Kamala Harris as a key reason Biden won suburbs: she appeared educated, articulate, smart, conservative, establishment, and tough on crime.

Forward-looking strategy claim for the 2024 election.

prediction

Jiang argues that Trump can win the suburbs in 2024 by copying Biden's VP-redemption narrative with Nikki Haley.

Comparison made on 2024-05-17.

diagnosis

prediction
