The Harris-Walz campaign continues to stumble as they hunt down the elusive male vote that will be key to their November victory.
According to reporting from CNN, “In the final weeks of the race, male voters are among the biggest persuasive targets for the Harris campaign as it seeks to erode part of Trump’s advantage by spending tens of millions in TV ads on major league baseball games, college football broadcasts and soccer matches in the top battleground states and beyond. It’s also one of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s most important assignments, particularly among White men.”
One major problem: the data out there doesn’t paint a good picture at all. Fox News reports that “Democrats’ advantage with young men is ‘completely gone’ as former President Trump is successfully appealing to Gen Z with his ‘macho brand.’”
If there are men who find the Harris-Walz campaign worth voting for, they’re not showing up in the home stretch of the campaign.
The Washington Post is reporting that, “New York Times-Siena College polls of six swing states in August found that young men backed Trump by 13 points, while young women favored Harris by 38 points.”
A separate ABC-Ipsos poll shows Harris led by 38 points among young female likely voters under 30, compared to only a three-point lead among male voters under 30.
Just this week, The Teamsters, America’s largest union of 1.3 million people (most of which are men), released internal polling that showed a whopping 60% of its respondents chose Trump over Harris as their candidate of choice.
Students for Life Action (SFLAction) has written extensively about this increasing gender gap, including:
- White Dude for Harris: Brian Stelter Returns to CNN : According to reporting from The New York Times, “Among young men, a majority – 53% – plan to vote for Trump, while 40% say they’ll support Harris, according to a New York Times/Sienna College poll. That’s an astonishing 51-percentage-point gender gap.”
- Kamala Harris Needs the “Male Gaze” to Win, But Men are Unattracted to Her Abortion Agenda : “According to a 2024 Pew Research Center poll, 44% of women lean Republican, 50% of married women lean Republican, and 47% of straight women lean Republican. Women with different sexual orientations and never-married women were far more likely to vote Democrat.”
- Hating Men Is Now The Democrats’ Campaign Strategy : “It’s obvious the Democrat Party is not one for families or those seeking family formation anymore, so why would they try to appeal to that? They aren’t, and according to 2022 national exit polling, unmarried women are the Democrats’ main voting bloc now. They supported the Democrats 68 to 31 percent. Exit polling also showed married men (59 to 39 percent), married women (56 to 42 percent) and unmarried men (52 to 45 percent) voted Republican.”
The entire campaign was doomed from the beginning in this regard: it began with “Kamala is brat” and it is continuing with prime-time appearances with Oprah.
The Democrat National Convention (DNC) was a four day long feminist fever dream pushing degeneracy and anti-family nonsense.
Vice President Harris’ debate appearance was filled smug and sneering facial reactions that gave the Tik Tok crowd their “yas queen” dopamine hit.
The Harris campaigns specific and strategic attempt to reach men with the “White Dudes for Harris” initiative has fallen flat on its face. They just launched their first campaign ad, and the first 15 seconds of the ad focuses on the fact that people think white men suck.
Even Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who was a deliberate choice to appeal to working class male voters, has backfired horribly, appealing instead to the “future is female” men, as journalist Peter Hamby admitted on CNN.
None of this appeals to men at any level – it repels them.
They literally cannot help themselves, but at the same time, they’re not trying to. As I wrote in my Federalist op-ed: “The Harris campaign knows who its real voting base is” and it’s not male voters.
And it never will be.
