In Chicago, Rural Democrats Feel the Joy. Will It Last?
Surrounded by the aloof gray walls of the convention center room, flanked by bodyguards and large screens projecting a screen saver that looked like vermicelli noodles swimming in dark water, and in front of an audience of conference goers wearing boots and blue jeans and bold-colored pantsuits, carrying “Cat ladies for Kamala” tote bags—and in the case of one delegate, a rose-colored suit jacket with the number 47 embroidered in string lights on the back, the 7 shaped like the state of Florida—Walz signaled that rural America had a voice at the top of the party ticket, a point she underscored by poking fun at her husband.
