Can Republicans reclaim suburban voters turned off by Donald Trump?

WOODBRIDGE, Va. – As morning shoppers stroll the aisles of a suburban supermarket, Republican gubernatorial candidate GlennYoungkin is at the checkout talking to voters about grocery taxes and higher prices.

"It's getting to be too expensive to live in Virginia," Youngkin told a gaggle of reporters and potential voters at Todos Supermarket in a strip mall about 25 miles south of Washington.

The occasion was Hispanic Heritage Month, but Youngkin's trip to Todos – along with other visits to grocery stores and gas stations across Virginia – was designed to appeal to a large group that shifted sharply to the Democrats during the Donald Trump era: suburban voters.

Voters in the suburbs propelled Joe Biden past Trump in the 2020 presidential election, polling data in several states shows.  Republicans look at Youngkin's campaign as a possible model for recapturing at least some of those former Republicans who defected – a year before gubernatorial and congressional elections in pivotal presidential states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
