Biden's plan includes a suite of proposals aimed at boosting farmers, creating low-carbon manufacturing sectors in every state, and investing in rural broadband.
WASHINGTON — It’s no coincidence that, only one day after rolling out a health care plan built around protecting the Affordable Care Act from proposals to provide Medicare for all Americans, former Vice President Joe Biden unveiled his plan for revitalizing rural America.
In May, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., rolled out his plan that targets corporate farms, vowing to break up big agribusiness and incentivize more community ownership of local farms, among other proposals. Other candidates have also offered some similar proposals. In 2016, from Youngstown to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Democratic nominee Clinton sought to make a personal connection with voters while touting her economic plan, calling it the biggest investment in jobs since World War II. She shared the story of her grandfather, who did “dangerous” work in a Scranton, Pennsylvania, lace mill, and pledged to “fight” for those who feel “left behind."
Denny Ruprecht, a state representative from a district in the northern part of New Hampshire that went heavily for Trump, and who supports Biden, said the specifics of the candidates’ proposals were key to attracting support across the board. He noted that he didn’t see candidates rolling out plans “of this magnitude” in the last cycle.
