The three NKY suburban counties aren't really WWC. They are all at (Boone) or above (Campbell and Kenton) the national average as far as college education goes. All three have trended left in the Trump era, but it doesn't get a huge amount of attention because the state isn't competitive and Democrats were starting from such a low base.
Cincy has always been a fairly conservative metro. Hamilton County was only Biden +16, while Franklin was Biden +31 and Cuyahoga was Biden +34. The city itself is deep blue, but a lot of the suburbs in Hamilton County (especially the western part) are still very red, as are Butler, Warren and Clermont Counties. Maybe one reason for this is that Cincy was largely settled by Germans and also has more of a Southern influence, while Northeast Ohio was settled by New England Yankees.
