Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, unveiled Vice President Kamala Harris’s new plans for rural voters on Oct. 15 at a campaign stop in western Pennsylvania’s Lawrence County.
Harris’s proposal for rural health care involves using scholarships, new grant programs, and loan forgiveness to recruit 10,000 new health care workers in rural and tribal regions. It also involves policies to prioritize economic and agricultural interests. The pitch comes as former President Donald Trump’s lead is increasing in some national and battleground state polls, with three weeks to go before Election Day.
