Vice President Kamala Harris was unknowingly caught on a hot mic admitting her campaign’s challenges with male voters, during a casual beer with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer at Trak Houz Bar & Grill over the weekend.
As the two shared a drink, Harris was heard saying, “We need to move ground among men,” clearly unaware that her private conversation was being recorded.
The comment aligns with recent polls showing Harris trailing Donald Trump among male voters.
In the latest USA Today/Suffolk University poll, Trump leads Harris among men 53% to 37%, while Harris holds a 53% to 36% advantage with women voters. Similar trends were found in a Michigan poll from Quinnipiac University, where Harris holds a strong lead with women but trails among men.
Campaign Strategy: Connecting with Male Voters
In a bid to bridge the gender gap, Harris has ramped up her engagement with male audiences. After a recent town hall with Charlamagne tha God, she is scheduled for another interview with the popular radio host this week.
Harris also joined former NFL player Shannon Sharpe on his podcast to discuss sports over cognac, hoping to connect with sports fans and younger male voters.
