Walz’s everyman persona and relatability with male voters could prove critical for the campaign’s efforts to close the gender gap.
Governor Tim Walz returned to Minnesota at the weekend to kick off pheasant season and to attend a high school football game as the campaign makes more overt efforts to court male voters.
in September. In 2020 exit polls, Trump won men by eight points, and his campaign has focused, in recent months, on appealing to young men in particular. One member of Walz’s hunting party shot a rooster, but the carcass was not recovered. A member of the group said they had also spotted some pheasant hens, which cannot be hunted to preserve the population.
But Walz transformed into an anti-gun advocate after deadly mass shootings at a country music festival in Las Vegas and a high school in Parkland, Florida.AP After eating some venison sticks, Walz met several social influencers: David Clayton, an advocate for homeless veterans; rodeo athlete Ramontay McConnell; and hunting content creator Brandon Adams. In a TikTok video, Clayton asked Walz about bipartisanship and presented him with a fidget spinner for his son, Gus.
Asked last week about Trump’s appeal to men and his message to men, particularly black men, Walz touted the campaign’s policies aimed at the middle class and economic opportunity.“I think we need to make sure we’re getting out to them. We hear what they’re saying,” Walz said in comments to WPVI-TV in Philadelphia. “I think it’s more of taking it to them, making the message tailored.”
