Democrats rural voter problem

Rural voters playing outsized role in battleground House races 

Over half of this year’s toss-up races are in districts with a sizable rural constituency. That reality makes holding the House—or even staying within striking distance—more challenging for Democrats.

The Democrats' energy policies have been a disaster for rural voters regardless of ethnicity.  The gas to get to the grocery store becomes a hardship.  For rural voters who are farmers, it is even worse because fuelling their tractors and other implements also costs more. As a rural voter, I can't wait to vote against every Democrat on the ballot.
