If you’re wondering why the Democrats have been dressing Tim Walz up like a lumberjack and parading him around on television, because they think they can get men to like him.
So it’s no surprise that Walz is so delusional, or at least pretends he’s so delusional, that he refuses to believe the polls showing that male voters cannot stand Kamala.
At a glance:
- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz dismissed concerns about a gender gap in male support for Vice President Kamala Harris, despite polls showing men favoring Donald Trump.
- Walz, during an appearance at the University of Wisconsin, urged students to ignore the polling gap, expressing confidence that men care about the issues.
- Walz’s comments and attempts to relate to men, such as through pheasant hunting, have been mocked online.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz expressed disbelief regarding reports that male voters are overwhelmingly supporting former President Donald Trump over Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. During an appearance at the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, Walz dismissed the idea of a gender gap, saying, “I refuse to admit that that’s real.” His comments were in response to a Pew Research poll showing that 51% of men prefer Trump, compared to 43% favoring Harris.
Walz urged young men to get out and vote, emphasizing that the issues at stake matter to all voters, regardless of gender. However, his efforts to appeal to male voters, including a comment about being better at shooting pheasants than his opponents, have been met with widespread criticism and mockery. His attempt to connect with men by boasting about his hunting skills backfired after a video surfaced showing Walz struggling to load a shotgun, prompting online ridicule.

Conservative commentators and social media users took aim at Walz’s remarks and his hunting skills, with some accusing him of pandering to male voters through outdated stereotypes. Critics also pointed out the disconnect between the Democrats’ messaging and their attempts to appeal to men, arguing that progressive policies have historically been hostile toward masculinity.
In an op-ed for the U.K. Telegraph, Caroline Downey criticized the Democratic approach, stating that their strategy seems to involve guilt-tripping men into supporting Harris. She noted that the left has spent decades demonizing masculinity, which has contributed to the current challenges in appealing to male voters.
As the 2024 election approaches, Walz’s comments reflect the growing tension within the Democratic Party as they attempt to address concerns about voter demographics and messaging. Despite his confidence, the polling numbers suggest that the Democrats still face significant challenges in winning over male voters.
