At 96 years old, Stephen N. Limbaugh Sr., a successful attorney and former federal judge, is still actively involved in politics. Working at his law firm in Cape Girardeau, he continues to follow political events, including the Democratic National Convention and the upcoming presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and their opponents.
Despite his nephew Rush Limbaugh’s conservative views, Limbaugh Sr. values understanding both sides of the political spectrum. He acknowledges the appeal of the Democratic ticket to mainstream voters, but personally does not fully trust Walz due to his left-leaning policies in Minnesota.
In a red region like southeast Missouri, voters express skepticism towards the Democratic Party, questioning their commitment to working-class families and critical issues like the economy and food prices. Many residents, like Kim Hellyer and Chris Lix, have shifted their allegiance towards Republican policies and President Trump due to what they perceive as sound policy decisions.
On the other hand, others like Latonya Jackson and Anniyah Allure are undecided or uninterested in participating in the election, citing a lack of trust in politicians and doubts about the impact of their votes. Limbaugh emphasizes the importance of appealing to core groups of voters to secure a victory in the upcoming presidential election, likening it to the core of a watermelon that defines its sweetness.
