Journalist and author Salena Zito is celebrated for uncovering, as Rush Limbaugh explains, "an amazing national political realignment that was—and still is—completely invisible to the Wizards of Smart who inhabit our distant capital." She finds America not through the media and Washington establishment but those she meets driving on the back roads from Pittsburgh to Cleveland. They are the misunderstood and forgotten men and women who elected President Donald Trump, and those unexpected voters who continue to shape our political landscape. In this collection of Zito's syndicated columns from 2019, she provides a unique look at the cultural and political moments of today. Read about small-business struggles and hometown heroes, our cultural divide and communities coming together, to see where we could be headed in 2020.
