The Democrat is somewhere between Joe Manchin and Bernie Sanders style populism.

A somewhat unpopular Republican is in the white house, and has overseen both a boom in the conservative suburbs and the climax of the collapse of rural areas in the south, while the western rural areas are staying afloat. Urban areas have done well, but are culturally maligned from the Republicans.

The Republican nominee is a pro-immigrant socially moderate Latino and is far-right economically.

Latte Liberals, New England moderates, and Clintonite suburbians walk out of the Democratic party behind a socially liberal and fiscally slightly right of center D senator from California, and throw California, New Hampshire, ME-01, and Indiana(The third party candidate carries Indianapolis narrowly) to the GOP.

A guess on the dem: they're a southern governor.

I'm going to guess Kentucky is the state they're from.

Two guesses: The Independent was from California and got 2nd place there.

A geographic guess: Compared to now the margin in the BosWash corridor for the Dem is underwhelming, or even only lean D

More geographic guessing: The independent was strongest in inner-ring suburbs and weakest in small towns.

The Democrat is not supported by some party leaders, who endorsed the independent.

The concept of the generic D has largely stayed where it is today, except perhaps a touch to the right on economic issues.

Similar, but the concept is noticeably different

I don't understand what this statement means.

So is a generic D shifted to the right on economic issues, while sprinting to the left on social issues?
