Speaking from the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night, CNN anchor Dana Bash argued that the Democratic Party was appealing to men who were not “testosterone-laden,” contending that Democrats like Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff can speak to those kinds of men.

The subject was broached in a three-way conversation between Bash and fellow anchors Abby Phillip and Jake Tapper.

“The gender gap, in American politics, has been trending very strongly, for years,” Tapper contended. “But this year, at least according to polls, it is so strong. The women — the women vote is overwhelmingly for Harris. The male vote overwhelmingly for Trump, though not as much.”

That launched Bash into her analysis of the Democrats’ appeal to men who were not “testosterone-laden”:

Yes. And there’s the gender gap. Then there’s the idea that for the last month, the Democratic Party has been rallying around a woman, at the top of the ticket, which is, the only other time they did it, which is in 2016. And it has been noteworthy to see how they are learning about what to do, and how to confront Donald Trump, as the opponent to a woman, 2016 and now, very different campaigns, very different female candidates.

But they are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff, last night, who can speak to men, out there, who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden gun-toting kind of guy, who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan, and the kind of players that came out at the RNC, or might want to listen to that.

But also, in addition, understand that it’s OK, in 2024, to be a man, comfortable in his own skin, who supports a woman. And that’s something that they really are trying to work on, with male voters, beyond the base.

“We were talking about this earlier,” Tapper stated. “The different definitions of masculinity in 2024. And what we saw at the Trump convention, which was, as you know, somebody, I forget — forget exactly who said it, testosterone with Kid Rock, and the ultimate fighting champion guy and Hulk Hogan who–Remember, Hulk Hogan actually ripped off his shirt and he had another shirt underneath, which, I think is not exactly what the rip off the shirt thing is supposed to be.”
