The document, titled “We Believe in Rural America,” is a two-page outline of policy positions the vice president would offer for rural communities across the country. Her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is scheduled to visit Wausau, Wisconsin, on Friday as Harris heads to several of Pennsylvania’s rural, red counties the same day.
