Tim Walz will be seen more often in orange. The Democratic vice presidential nominee, Walz, is going pheasant hunting wearing a bright vest. Democrats claim that for years, they virtually gave former President Donald Trump all of the rural counties and even some of the suburbs. Since 2016, rural counties in states like Wisconsin and Nevada have become deeply red areas associated with President Trump, making them nearly impossible for the left to penetrate. Promoting Walz's Midwest origins, military service, labor connections, hunting experience, and football coaching career, Harris campaign officials feel they have an edge over white moderate and blue-collar voters, to whom Harris may have a softer appeal. Using her experience as a prosecutor and the narrative that she created about being the immigrant daughter who worked at McDonald's before moving up the ranks to become vice president, Harris has also made a signal to those voters.
