Democrats Are Courting 'Dudes Who Want to Be Women,' CNN Analyst Says
Scott Jennings accused Democrats of prioritizing transgender individuals over traditional male voters, particularly men of color.The remarks came during a discussion on CNN's State of the Union program, as political strategists debated the party's struggles with male voters heading into the November 5 election.Jennings, a veteran GOP strategist, didn't hold back when addressing the Democrats' recent attempts to shore up support among men. "I think what they are now finally in October, the election, coming to realize is that a lot of men think Democrats care more about dudes who want to become women than dudes who just want to be dudes," he declared.Newsweek contacted Harris' campaign via email on Sunday for comment.The comments come as Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign intensifies efforts to engage Black male voters in particular.These initiatives include hosting tailgate events at Historically Black College and University (HBCU) homecomings and Harris' appearance on "All The Smoke," a podcast hosted by two former NBA stars Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, where she discussed her identity more openly than she typically does on the campaign trail.This weekend, Harris is in North Carolina meeting with local Black leaders.
