Democrats made midterm gains in rural areas. Can they keep them?

Democrats had better than expected midterm elections in 2022, partly because of their ability to draw votes from rural areas. These voters could create new battlegrounds in 2024.

@NPR_USNews “I do think Democrats ran some more candidates that are seen as working class that knew how to speak kind of common sense” … “The one disconnect that we see is that Democrats tend to contact rural voters at much lower rates”. Overall, this is very encouraging. I would love to see the Democratic Party continue to make headway w/ rural voters "lot of blue dots in red places is a key part of how they [we] win." #RuralDemocrats #RuralAmerica #DemocratsUnite
