The number of counties in the United States that rely on government assistance is increasing, and most of them vote Republican. In 1970, one in ten counties in the country relied primarily on social safety net programs; in the latest survey of the nation, that number has risen to over half of American counties. Reasons range from rapid inflation, the expansion of government social programs, and deindustrialization due to jobs moving overseas. Reporter and Editor for the Wall Street Journal Aaron Zitner joins to discuss how these counties went from being swing districts to majority red regions, how former President Trump capitalized on bringing these voters into his coalition, and why both candidates are so focused on winning over voters in these areas.
