Americans, more than ever, are relying on government programs to get by, and a recent study shows how that reliance has spread to many more parts of the country over the decades.
This past week, Wall Street Journal’s editor and reporter Aaron Zitner joined host Chris Foster to delve into the study’s findings and the significant political ramifications. He notes a striking trend: many counties that have grown more dependent on government safety nets tend to vote Republican and are pivotal in swing states that could swing the outcome of next month’s election.
Zitner discusses what economic, demographic, and policy changes led to this change. He also explains how former President Donald Trump was among the first Republicans to notice this trend and appeal to these voters.
We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.
Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with the WSJ’s Aaron Aitner and allow you to hear even more about America’s growing reliance on government money and what it can mean for our country’s future.
