The Philadelphia Suburbs.
This is the most affluent and highly educated region in Pennsylvania.
The people who live here are a traditional stronghold for the Democratic Party.
They are well-educated, care about the environment, support women's rights, and detest populism.
Logically, an elite politician like Aston Monroe—genteel and with a perfect resume—should be their ideal choice.
In contrast, John Murphy's image—his coarse style and constant fraternizing with grease-stained workers—would only make them uncomfortable.
But today, that discomfort was being replaced by another, much stronger emotion.
Sarah Jenkins sat in the Pittsburgh campaign headquarters, her fingers flying across the keyboard.
She was directing an invisible air strike.
Targeted ads aimed at female voters in the Philadelphia suburbs were being deployed en masse across all major social media platforms.
These ads looked crude, even a little unsettling.
The video began with a black-and-white clip.
