J.D. DURKIN

The Pivot Counties is the original Cheddar Business series examining the 206 counties that voted twice for Barack Obama before pivoting to vote for Donald Trump in 2016. Host and co-creator J.D. Durkin visits these off-the-grid towns for community profiles, interviews with voters, and a look at life in small town America.
