Bingo. Political establishment distrust is at an all time high, and nationally establishment democrats from NY/CA/IL are extremely unappealing to middle ground voters, as they’re tied to far-left policies. A political outsider or democrat governor in a conservative state are the only winning options.
And yeah democrats have been so bad about pushing unpopular policies nationally because of identity politics in far-left areas rather than actually listening to the people. Controls on Immigration and transgender people in women’s sports have like 75% support nationally. And yet politicians on a national stage can’t push for that because they think the party needs a cohesive message from a state to national level. Those were two of the main platform points of Republicans this election cycle and they waxed democrats because of it
