Bill Clinton deserves a lot of credit for it. He is underrated by today's Dems.
Clinton 1992 made massive gains in the suburbs that went for Reagan and HW Bush. He moved the Dems to the center on economy, crime, culture. During his presidency, the economy boomed, and Clinton signed critical welfare reform and crime bills. The latter played an instrumental role in the reduction of crime during the 90s. These policy successes re-aligned affluent suburbs in WA, CA, IL, MD, PA, NJ, CT.
