I will be canvassing for Harris in southern WI between Milwaukee and Madison at the end of August. Trump won them by 16 pts in 2020, so I will be meeting some old white folks, who haven't died off yet, of course (that might work in Harris' favor).

Also, there are a lot of old white people - two of my three sibs - who will vote Democratic. They're in IL, which is solid blue because of Chicago (where I grew up). So when you're talking Midwest, you mean in the rural areas. The suburban areas are growing blue.

When I’m talking Midwest I’m only talking about Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. All other Midwest states will vote exactly how they voted for the last 10 years.

Ah. FWIW, Midwesterners don't consider PA to be Midwest. But if you're talking just MI & WI, those suburban areas are leaning blue, so you mean the rural areas.

Apologies. Just talking about states that we can and must win (the rust belt).
