In 2020, Trump won North Carolina with only 49.93% of the vote — Biden only won 48.59%. But in the same year, Biden flipped Georgia by just 12,000 votes – which is only a 0.23% margin.
Here's the takeaway:
Rural votes are the key to pushing margins over the line for Kamala and Tim, and making sure Donald Trump never enters the White House again.
For years, we've been telling anyone who would listen, "you can't discount rural voters." And now, Democrats are finally catching on. That's why there are record investments in rural swing-states — the places that are going to decide the next President.
Just last week, Harris and Walz were barnstorming on a bus tour through rural Southeastern Georgia; places so far outside of Atlanta that Democrats hadn't campaigned there in decades.
But the excitement in rural America is palpable.
Tim Walz is a progressive guy who grew up in Nebraska and settled in Minnesota. He's a guy who's ran and won in red and purple districts. Plus, his background as a high school teacher, football coach, a hunter, and an outdoorsman are bringing rural votes into play in unexpected places.
Rural folks are looking to their elected officials to finally do something about health care, infrastructure, and high speed internet, and rural voters trust that Kamala and Tim can get the job done.
New states, regions, districts, and precincts are opening up with rural voters who are more engaged, involved, and enthusiastic than ever before. Democrats are paying attention to rural communities because these voters are electrified by this dynamic ticket — and they have the Harris/Walz camo hats to prove it.
For the final two months of this race, we'll be hitting rural districts hard to bring home these crucial votes, but we can only do it if we have your help. Will you chip in $3 to reach voters in this final stretch? [[link removed]]
It's going to be a close race no matter what, but Harris and Walz are seeing new pathways to 270 electoral votes open up and they're counting on rural voters like us to bring this victory home!
