Harris Tries To Win Back Rural America. It Won’t Be Easy.
Rural American saw tremendous decline in quality of life in the last 25 years. Many young people in those regions graduate from high school then head out as soon as possible and with them goes youthful energy and able bodied workers leaving an older less educated population behind. The opioid epidemic was a gut punch that left rural America struggling to survive with few places to turn. The Donald Trump came into the picture and promised to be rural America’s savior even though he came from the most elite coastal enclaves possible with no interactions with small town Americans other than with those who have moved to the coasts and work at his golf clubs. Needless to say the problems of non urban America persist and Kamala wants to offer an alternative.
