Suburbs Carried Biden to Victory

“Surging Democratic turnout in swing-state suburbs carried Joe Biden to the US presidency, the Financial Times reports.

“In a contest defined by record turnout for both candidates, the outcome of the race hinged on who was able to attract the most new votes — and where.”

“A blue wave in the majority-white suburbs of Pennsylvania and Georgia was pivotal to Mr Biden’s win in the electoral college. In Arizona, both majority-white and majority-Latino areas in Phoenix and Tucson contributed tens of thousands of net votes to Mr Biden, overturning a swing towards Mr Trump in majority-white rural areas.”
