Democrats retook the House of Representatives on the back of a suburban surge Tuesday, remaking a once rock-ribbed Republican bastion into a Democratic stronghold. …
The suburbs aren’t monolithically blue in the same way America’s urban congressional districts are. … And the suburbs aren’t quite as red as rural America, where Democrats represent 35 out of more than 180 pure rural and rural-suburban mix districts. But the suburbs, at least for one election, are now comfortably Democratic territory. CONT.
