Harris and Walz Unveil Plan to Win Over Rural Voters

The Democratic campaign aims to challenge Trump's rural stronghold with healthcare and economic initiatives.

The Harris-Walz plan focuses on recruiting 10,000 healthcare professionals to rural and tribal areas through scholarships, loan forgiveness, and grants.
The initiative seeks to permanently extend telemedicine coverage under Medicare, a pandemic-era benefit set to expire at the end of 2024.
Grants are proposed to support volunteer EMS programs, aiming to reduce the number of Americans living more than 25 minutes from ambulance services by half.
The plan calls for the restoration of the Affordable Connectivity Program, providing discounts on home internet bills, and advocates for farmers' right to repair their equipment.
Walz's campaign includes a radio ad targeting rural voters, emphasizing his small-town roots and contrasting with Trump and Vance's policies.
