A senator who lost re-election in 2018 is using her leftover campaign funds to push her fellow Democrats to reconnect with rural voters, arguing that they risk letting President Donald Trump win a second term if they don’t
.
“America wants to get stuff done again,” she said. “I could put a different word in there, which I usually do, but I won’t,” she tacks on. It’s not a groundbreaking idea, but one that may help stop or maybe reverse her party’s slide away from rural messages toward one designed to surge with urban voters. Former Sen. Joe Donnelly, who lost his re-election bid in Indiana last years, is also pitching in for the party on this project.
Put plainly: If a Democrat is going to win the White House in 2020, they can’t be writing off as much as one-fifth of the voters. After all, according to the Census, almost 60 million people live in rural areas and Trump did 29 percentage points better in rural areas than in urban ones. In Pennsylvania, that urban-rural gap was 46 percentage points.“Rural America got left behind,” Heitkamp says of the 2016 election.
