‘The suburbs — that’s the whole deal’: How the suburbs became Harris’ clearest path to victory

Kamala Harris is counting on suburban voters to do what they’ve done since Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016: reject him.

It may be the single most important piece of her electoral math. While Donald Trump has made inroads with Black and Latino men, polls in the late stage of the election show the suburbs could still power her to victory. The latest Wall Street Journal poll found Harris leading among suburban voters by 7 percentage points, while a Reuters/Ipsos analysis showed the vice president winning suburban households by 6 points.

If either of those numbers hold, they would likely be enough to offset Harris’ erosion with Black, Latino and young men.
