Wisconsin Democratic candidate says her party 'left behind' rural America
Blue Dog Democrat Rebecca Cooke, a Wisconsin congressional candidate, discussed in an interview Thursday how she is trying to set things right after she accused her party of abandoning rural and working-class voters in recent years.
She appeared on the "Politics War Room" podcast with co-hosts James Carville and Al Hunt, known for calling out the far left of the Democratic Party.
"I don’t wanna put you in a box, but you say you’re a Blue Dog and a New Democrat, tell me what it means to be a Blue Dog Democrat," Hunt asked.
