Good afternoon,

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! It has been quite the year for rural America and American politics at large. While the new year may come with its challenges, One Country Project remains committed to uplifting rural voices and the issues impacting these communities.

Chris Gibbs, Ohio Farmer on Rural Voters and Democrats: "I don't care if Democrats bring them a new fire station, child tax credits, if you're going to cut ribbons on this or that. They'll take your trinkets, and they may even say thank you, but they still won't vote for you."

   Looking Ahead
  • The 119th Congress will be sworn in at noon on January 3rd. The 118th Congress may stay in session longer than in most prior years as a year-end supplemental bill to fund the government must pass the House and Senate, and the Senate continues working to confirm judges nominated by President Biden. President Biden is on pace to appoint at least 235 judges, which would eclipse the total number of judges appointed by Trump during his first term.
  • The leadership race for the DNC is beginning to take shape with four candidates announced so far. Those include former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wickler, Minnesota DFL Party Chair Ken Martin, and New York State Senator James Skoufis. As many as 16 candidates have expressed interest in succeeding outgoing Chair Jamie Harrison of South Carolina. The DNC chair election will be held on February 1, 2025
