Abstract
Many have questioned the agenda behind political support for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, as well as continued support through several partisan disputes leading up to the 2020 presidential election. Research thus far has been done on Appalachian politics as well as female Trump supporters from 2016-2019. There is a significant gap in literature concerning political support among Appalachian women and how this particular demographic influenced the 2020 presidential election. The purpose of this research is to determine core values and beliefs that influence political involvement and opinions among women in rural Appalachia while exploring the role of agenda setting through traditional and non-traditional platforms. The study uses a two-stage mixed methods approach and applies the underlying framework of standpoint theory. Keywords: Appalachia, Appalachian women, political affiliation, standpoint theory, presidential election, values, Trump
