Four years ago, Donald Trump went to outlandish lengths to warn voters that the future of American suburbs was at stake in the 2020 presidential election. Over the weekend, the Republican recycled the line during a rally in New Jersey, and he added a rhetorical flourish. “I will also stop Joe Biden’s sinister plan to abolish the suburbs,” the former president declared. “He’s trying to abolish the suburbs in your state — and we’re not going to let him to do it.

In August 2020, the Republican went so far as to insist that Biden intended to allow low-income housing to “invade” suburban neighborhoods, adding that Biden intended to put Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey “in charge” of the initiative. It was around the same time that Trump told voters that Democrats “want to abolish” American suburbs. What was old is new again.
