Dana Bash on DNC's Male Appeal Strategy

During the final night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), CNN anchor Dana Bash highlighted the Democratic Party's strategy of appealing to men who are not 'testosterone-laden.' Bash noted that figures like Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff are being positioned to connect with men who might not resonate with more traditionally masculine icons like those featured at the Republican National Convention (RNC). This approach aims to bridge the gender gap, as women overwhelmingly support Kamala Harris, while men tend to favor Donald Trump, though to a lesser extent. Critics from conservative circles mocked this strategy, labeling it as an appeal to 'low-T soy boys.' The DNC was characterized by some as lacking a coherent theme and focusing heavily on Trump-bashing and victimhood narratives.
