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.
This is true for the counties as a whole, but not for the specific area I was bringing up. Ludlow, Covington, Newport, Bellevue, and Dayton all make below the 2022 U.S. MHI, and all but Bellevue are below the college education average for those 25 and up.
