PALMERI: How do Democrats win back white men like yourself?
FETTERMAN: I don’t know. And truthfully, I’m not sure. I’m not sure if that’s possible, to be honest.
I think that’s been seriously eroding for for a while. And in some cases in the conversations I’ve had, a lot of people, they don’t even want to say it publicly, but they just feel like, you know, the other side seems like it’s it’s like men or that men’s the problem and are to blame or their their masculinity is toxic. Or if unless you’re able to conform to our very strict kinds of definition of what we think’s appropriate, well, then, hey, I’m just I’m going to find an alternative.
And they’ve done that. That’s that’s that’s absolutely true. And once we’ve kind of turned their back on that demographic, it’s going to be difficult to to rebuild and replace that with with with those voters, because I think that migration has been ongoing phenomenon for several years.
And that was been in front and center, you know, in part of the election in twenty four.
