The Whole Foods Election

A USA Today analysis found that Democratic wins in the midterms were propelled by women and well-educated voters who benefited from the booming economy.

That’s the exact demographic that Whole Foods Market, the upscale grocery store caters to.

“As of Thursday, in the 37 GOP districts where Democrats flipped a seat or were leading, 70 percent contain a Whole Foods Market, according to Dave Wasserman, the U.S. House editor at the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. In districts where Republicans held on or were leading, just 39 percent had one.”
