Former President Donald Trump recently dismissed the newly formed group, ‘ White Dudes for Harris ’, during his speech at the Al Smith charity dinner in New York, saying that he is unconcerned about their impact on the upcoming election.
He quipped, “I’m not worried about them at all, because their wives and their wives' lovers are all voting for me.” This comment came as he mocked the group, which aims to mobilise support for Vice President Kamala Harris ’s campaign.
As per its website, the ‘White Dudes for Harris’ initiative has garnered attention with its pledge to engage over 200,000 white men nationwide in supporting Harris. According to founder Ross Morales Rocketto, many white men are seeking alternatives to what they view as divisive politics associated with Trump. “There is a real hunger out there for an alternative,” he stated.
In a recent ad campaign costing $10 million, the group is targeting disillusioned white male voters in key battleground states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The campaign aims to resonate with those who feel sidelined by Trump’s rhetoric, stating, “All they’ve ever done is screw us over.” The advertisement positions Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, as the leaders who are genuinely addressing the needs of these voters.
Despite the campaign's efforts, a new NBC News poll reveals that Harris and Trump are now tied at 48% among registered voters. This marks a significant shift, as Harris had previously led by five points just a month ago.
At the Al Smith dinner , Trump’s comments were part of a broader critique of Harris, who opted to skip the event to campaign in Wisconsin. Trump labelled her absence as “deeply disrespectful” and made jabs at both her and President Biden throughout his speech. His performance combined humour with sharp barbs, characteristic of his campaign style.
The Al Smith dinner, an annual charity event that typically sees candidates from both parties share light-hearted banter, has a history of being a platform for political jabs.
