Democrats have launched a $20 million initiative code-named SAM (Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan) to study how to regain support from young male voters who shifted toward President Trump in the 2024 election.

The plan recommends studying the "syntax, language, and content" that gains attention in male-dominated online spaces, purchasing advertisements in video games, and shifting away from what it calls a "moralizing tone" toward men.

Democratic donors and strategists have reportedly been meeting at luxury hotels, including the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay, Calif., to discuss strategies for winning back working-class voters, featuring expensive appetizers and high-profile attendees.

More than half of male voters under age 30 supported Trump in the 2024 election, representing a shift from 2020, when former President Joe Biden won a similar share of that demographic against Trump.

This comes as Democratic Party approval has plunged to 27% in a recent NBC News poll, the weakest rating in surveys dating to 1990, following <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2024/us-election-trump-declares-victory-as-fox-the-hill-call-results">Trump's popular vote victory</a> and gains across multiple demographic groups. Meanwhile, a recent Quantus Insights poll shows Trump's approval has risen 4% among Democrats.

This $20 million scheme perfectly captures everything wrong with the Democratic Party - wealthy elites gathering at luxury resorts to "study" working-class men like exotic specimens instead of simply listening to their concerns. The idea of spending millions to decode the "syntax" of young men while hosting strategy sessions with short-rib tostones and mini lobster rolls shows how completely disconnected party leadership has become from ordinary Americans. Authenticity cannot be purchased or manufactured through focus groups and video game advertisements - it requires genuine engagement with voters' real economic and cultural anxieties.

Dems Spend $20M on Plan to Win Back Male Voters

The DNC's new social media push shows it recognizes its failure to connect with young male voters, who simply felt forgotten by the party that until recently always had their support. By tapping sharp leaders like Gavin Newsom for podcasts, they're meeting these voters where they are. Newsom's charisma and willingness to listen signal a smart pivot to rebuild trust for 2028, proving Democrats can fight for men's interests without losing their core values.

Do Democrats Know How to Win Back Men?

The DNC's social media push shows the party still doesn't understand young men's discontent. Even liberal David Hogg has acknowledged that men feel judged and ignored by Democrats' elitist tone. Newsom's flashy new podcast is completely inauthentic—more about branding than understanding. Throwing money at ads or mimicking so-called 'manosphere' vibes won't rebuild trust. Democrats won't change men's minds until they sincerely change their own.
