Key Notes
Jiang argues that the mainstream media narrative during Trump's presidency first used Russiagate and then the divisive-figure frame to push suburbs away from 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 says the pandemic damaged Trump in the suburbs because families with children and older voters saw his handling as incompetent.
Jiang identifies Kamala Harris as a key reason Biden won suburbs: she appeared educated, articulate, smart, conservative, establishment, and tough on crime.
Jiang argues that Trump can win the suburbs in 2024 by copying Biden's VP-redemption narrative with Nikki Haley.
Jiang says Nikki Haley resembles Kamala Harris in the relevant electoral frame because she is South Asian, from an immigrant family, accomplished, and acceptable to suburban voters.
Jiang argues that if Trump picks Haley after saying he would not consider her, suburban voters and media can read him as changed, grown, forgiving, willing to listen, and empathetic.
