A Former Democratic Senator Has a Warning for Her Party Ahead of 2020

A senator who lost re-election in 2018 is using her leftover campaign funds to push her fellow Democrats to reconnect with rural voters, arguing that they risk letting President Donald Trump win a second term if they don't.

On Thursday, former North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp launched the One Country Project, which is designed to be a clearinghouse for research on rural voters, to criticize Trump's record on issues they care about and to press Democrats to engage more in rural areas.
