Male Voters Are Key in the 2024 Election
As a registered Democrat for over 30 years, I have been frustrated at how the Democratic Party has consistently failed to address or even acknowledge male gender issues in a meaningful way. I call this the Democratic Disconnect. Men have a 5.9-year lower life expectancy, are significantly more likely to end up in prison, die of murder, suicide, or opioid overdose, be homeless, and are less likely to graduate from high school, and attend or graduate from college. And these are just a few of the negative outcomes that the male population in the US experiences. Yet President Biden created a “Gender Policy Council” that focuses on female gender issues only. Will his lack of attention to men cost him the White House in 2024? Will Republicans be able to get enough male voters, especially in battleground states, to win the majority of electoral votes? I believe this is one of the most important questions in the 2024 election.
I will follow both parties and key campaign season events, such as State of the Union Address, party conventions, party platforms, presidential debates and speeches, as well as key polling data, through a Democratic male gender lens. We will also look at past trends and data amongst male voters to detect patterns and help anticipate possible outcomes to the 2024 races.
I look at: Who’s getting right, or wrong? Which party addresses male gender issues? Are the candidates identifying men as a voting block, and reaching out to them? What related organizations are chiming in on male gender issues? How will this sway how people end up voting, and ultimately, who ends up in the White House?
