Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) expressed his doubts that the Democrat Party will be able to win back white male voters in future elections after alienating them for so many years.
In an appearance on the “Somebody’s Gotta Win” podcast Thursday, Fetterman lamented that the Democrat crusade of demonizing white men as part of their identity politics agenda is backfiring on them.
“I think [Democrats’] primary currency was shaming and scolding and talking down to people and telling them, ‘Hey, I know better than you,’ or you’re dopes, or you’re a bro, or you’re ignorant or, ‘how can you be this dumb? I can’t imagine it.’ And then, by the way, they’re fascists. How can you vote for that?” Fetterman told host Tara Palmeri.

He also said Democrats should stop characterizing people who voted for President Donald Trump as fascists who “support insurrections and those things.”
“If you go to an extreme, and you become a boutique kind of proposition, then you’re going to lose the argument, and we have done that,” Fetterman said.
When asked if Democrats could win back white male voters in the 2026 midterms, Fetterman responded, “I’m not sure if that’s possible, to be honest.”
“I think that’s been seriously eroding for a while,” Fetterman said, adding that in conversations with voters, he’s been told that it feels like Democrats think “men are the problem, men are to blame, or their masculinity is toxic.”
“Once we’ve kind of turned [our] back on that demographic, it’s going to be difficult to rebuild and replace that with those voters,” Fetterman said. “I think that migration has been an ongoing phenomena for several years and that was front and center, you know, in part of the election in ’24.”
Trump won about 60% of the white male vote in the 2024 election, about the same as the 2020 election, and gained major support among black and Hispanic male voters, showing the Democrat Party is losing ground with the overall electorate.
