Can Biden compete in Trump's rural strongholds? Democrats hope so.
CRESTON, Iowa Re Nae Fulton was willing to take a chance on Donald Trump after she voted for Barack Obama twice and saw little change in her small rural community in southwest Iowa. Trump was "something new," she said, a political outsider who might stick up for "regular Americans" like her. Maybe he could finally spark some reinvestment and change.
Silly us! Fulton, 58, a beautician who manages a hotel in the nearby town of Corning, now says. He had everything handed to him. . . . Everything had to be about him me, me, me, why arent you bowing down to me?
Fulton grew tired of his boorish behavior and bullying early on. Shes seen firsthand the impact of his administration's punitive tariffs and other actions, with skyrocketing lumber prices hurting her husbands contracting business. And she has been appalled by Trumps handling of a deadly coronavirus pandemic that has sickened 105,000 and killed more than 1,500 in Iowa.
We need somebody who is going to heal our country and bring people back together, said Fulton. She plans to vote for the Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden.
