Abstract
This chapter examines how Joe Biden was able to rebuild “the blue wall” in the Midwest with strong support in urban centers and among women and college graduates in Michigan and Wisconsin. These two states typically vote Democratic in presidential elections, but replicating Biden’s success is not guaranteed moving forward, due to historically high turnout in 2020 and strong desire for change over the past two election cycles.
