During a rally in Folsom, California, progressive leaders Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced a contrasting reality as a banner reading "Folsom is Trump Country!" flew overhead. However, data indicates that the city, located in a Democratic-leaning Sacramento County, actually shows a favorable trend toward Democratic candidates, with 51% of voters choosing Kamala Harris in the last election. Residents perceive Folsom as family-friendly, often mischaracterized alongside more conservative municipalities. The rally highlighted this tension, as attendees reacted negatively to the pro-Trump message circling above.
As we rally for the future, it’s important to remember that Folsom has historically been more inclined to lean Democratic than the Trump label suggests.
The political landscape of Folsom presents an interesting case; contrary to some perceptions, it’s a city that has consistently chosen Democratic presidential candidates in recent years.
