As a former senator from one of the most rural states in the country, former Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) saw firsthand the slow erosion of rural support for Democrats, which led to a landslide victory for President Donald Trump. Now, she wants Democrats to focus on rural voters and rural issues to build support. She launched the One Country Project to help reengage with the American Heartland. She joins me on the show today to talk all about connecting with rural issues, combating Trump’s tariffs and much more.
Author and contributor to The Bulwark Molly Jong-Fast returns to tackle the latest news. She joins me on the show today to talk about Trump’s favorite racist, Rep. Steve King’s comments on rape and incest, Jeffrey Epstein’s victims and more.
