240: Rural Rage with Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman

Published: March 14, 2024, 9 a.m.

James and Al destroy the RNC and Senator Katie Britt\u2019s SOTU response, before welcoming authors of \u201cWhite Rural Rage\u201d Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman for a demographic deep dive.\xa0 They expose the disproportionate influence of rural White voters, analyze the factors driving their regional decline, and explain how Republicans have leveraged their grievances to win a larger share of their vote.\xa0 Then, they prove that rhetoric has not translated into results on issues like coal mining expansion and rural broadband access, arguing that Democrats are actually the better choice.
