But that's the whole problem, the people least capable of changing their policy priors are those affluent places for a variety of reasons.

That’s why the path to change is energizing and inspiring those low-propensity voters, mostly the young and the working class, with the right candidates and the right message

That’s how Trump pulled off 2020. It’s how Zohran won in 2025. It’s how Dems can win in 2026 and 2028.
