Why the poorest county in Kentucky has ditched the Democrats for Trump
This is Wolfe County, the poorest of 120 counties in Kentucky, the poorest county in all of Appalachia—and the heart of Trump Country. Donald Trump, the former president, secured a thumping 70 per cent of the vote in Wolfe County in 2020 and is likely to increase his margin this time.
From its founding in 1860 until the end of the 20th century, Wolfe County was a Democratic stronghold. As its poverty increased—the median income is $24,349 and the child food insecurity rate 33 per cent—Wolfe County voters, 99 per cent of whom are white, turned to Republicans and have embraced Trump with fervor.
