It's a brief article--I just duplicated almost all of it--and Nate Cohn doesn't elaborate here on how he defines "gains over Democrats." He doesn't define his baseline. His baseline could be the vote counts on a county by county basis, party vs. party, from the November elections of 2016. But he doesn't say, exactly.

His assumptions are based on a false premise: "Over the last two decades, American politics has steadily polarized along urban and rural lines, with Democrats running up the score in well-educated metropolitan areas and Republicans making gains in the countryside."
In modern American society, such as it is, the phrase "well-educated metropolitan areas" might better reflect the current demographic if it were modified to read "well-trained metropolitan areas".
Education teaches one to think for himself. Training teaches one to react without thought.
One is educated to design an airplane. Another is trained to fly an airplane.[This message has been edited by williegoat (edited 11-03-2021).]

The other news got lost in all of this, Republican Jason Miyares, son of a Cuban immigrant and a delegate from Virginia Beach, was also victorious in the Virginia state attorney general race. [This message has been edited by randye (edited 11-03-2021).]

A proper classical (Socratic) education teaches one HOW to think for himself.
It is no guarantee that they will.
The seed of critical thinking doesn't take root in everyone which is why we have Leftists.
College degree programs have increasingly become not much more than expensive job training programs permeated with Marxist political and cultural indoctrination.
The claim that cities are more "educated" is now more of an indictment than an endorsement.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 11-03-2021).]

Exactly... that was my first thought... why WOULD McAullif call Biden in the middle of a pending loss? What would be the purpose?
