rural Ohio
Midwestern farm territory
Rural Ohio refers to the countryside and small-town areas of the U.S. state of Ohio, as distinct from its major cities.
The phrase evokes farmland, conservative politics, and communities shaped by agriculture and manufacturing decline: Rural Ohio went heavily for Trump.
It often appears in political commentary as shorthand for white working-class Midwestern voters whose economic anxieties and cultural values differ from urban centers.
