American Heartland
Prairie states region
The American Heartland is the central United States, especially the Midwest—a region associated with farming, traditional values, and small-town life.
Politicians invoke it as representing authentic American character: policies that resonate with the heartland, heartland voters.
The term carries nostalgic weight, suggesting a place less corrupted by coastal urban influences.
