The path to victory in AZ for Kamala Harris and Democrats run through the suburbs

Democrats have made huge inroads with suburban voters in Arizona since 2016, when Donald Trump won the presidency, leveraging their support to not just take back the presidency in 2020, but to outperform expectations in the 2018 and 2022 midterms.

And the Harris-Walz campaign has boots on the ground in Arizona in an effort to capitalize on the advantage Democrats have gained with those suburban voters in its bid to keep Trump out of the White House and win the Grand Canyon State.

The campaign attributes Arizona’s recent metamorphosis into a swing state, after decades of being reliably red, to white suburban voters being alienated by the Republican Party. Vice President Kamala Harris needs to hang on to those voters — primarily in Maricopa and Pima counties — if she wants to win Arizona.

The campaign is working to reach these voters through phone calls, door-to-door canvassing, advertising and events around the state.
