CNN: Trump and Republicans are Facing a “Rural Revolt”

It’s no surprise that after implementing the largest health care cuts ever and plunging the country into a war that’s skyrocketed farming costs, rural Americans are rejecting Trump and Republicans. CNN reports that Trump is now underwater (-14) with rural voters, which is a sharp contrast to their approval (+18) during the 2024 election, calling it “an over 30 point switcheroo.”

As Republicans lose the benefit of the doubt with rural voters, the DCCC is committed to making inroads with this community. For the first time ever, the DCCC has a rural engagement program that’s actively organizing, engaging, and communicating with rural voters.

DCCC Spokesperson Bridget Gonzalez:
“Trump and Republicans are hitting rural communities hard with skyrocketing costs on everyday goods, diesel, and farming essentials, all while decimating the rural health care system. Thanks to Republicans’ broken promises and their billionaire-focused agenda, rural families are struggling more than ever — they deserve better.”
