Can Harris and Walz Capture the Rural Vote? A conversation with Paolo Cremidis.

Hello!

Today, we talk about the rural vote and the positioning of Tim Walz as the rural whisperer. Will it work? Is there such a thing as a “rural identity” that might look at Walz and gravitate towards him? What’s the thinking behind all that? To help us through it, we talked to Paolo Cremidis, the organizer of the recent Rural Americans for Harris Zoom call and the executive director of the Outrun coalition.

Topics covered: Ice skating rinks turned into giant Fiji water bottles, running back Obama, the Sims, how the culture warriors of the right misunderstand rural voters and what rural voters actually want.
