In 2016, the Midwest lifted Donald Trump to his upset victory in the presidential race. Two years later, many Democrats believe the region will be the site of their greatest success on Election Day.
Democrats sense widespread opportunity to make significant gains in a region that until this year they feared had shifted decisively to the Republicans.
The comeback is fueled not only by energized liberals and college-educated suburbanites who have recoiled at the president. It's also driven by some white working-class women who voted for Trump too. It's a coalition that Democrats hope will lift them to victory this year and guide their efforts into 2020.
