US EditionThe Democrats’ path back to power might start in places like this Appalachian town
- In both the 2020 and 2024 elections, Donald Trump secured a strong majority of voters from rural and small-town areas nationwide, winning 60% of their support in 2020 and increasing it to 63% in 2024, with communities such as Johnson County, Kentucky, showing particularly high levels of backing.
- This dominance reflects the Democratic Party's difficulty competing in predominantly white, rural, culturally conservative regions that have shifted strongly Republican.
- In Johnson County, a 97.5% white enclave with a rural hospital as a major employer, local Democrats emphasize grassroots efforts and praise Governor Andy Beshear for disaster management despite his low local vote share.
- Kentucky Democratic Chair Colmon Elridge emphasized that the party had lost engagement with rural white communities, underscoring the importance of reconnecting voters amid concerns like the impact of private school vouchers on public education.
- Without stronger rural engagement, Democrats face bleak prospects for the presidency and Senate control, with projections suggesting a loss of up to 12 Electoral College seats in 2030, making local efforts potentially crucial for regaining power.
