Vice President Kamala Harris was heard suggesting on a hot mic that her campaign is struggling to court male voters. The Democratic presidential nominee made the comment while drinking a beer with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer at Trak Houz Bar & Grill. With the election fast approaching, Harris and her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump , held rallies in the key battleground state over the weekend.
"So my thing is, we need to move ground among men," Harris told Whitmer. Once the vice president realized there were mics around, she ended her private conversation with Whitmer. "Oh, we have microphones in here just listening to everything," Harris said.
"I didn't realize that." "You'll bleep my f-words, I hope," Whitmer said. Harris added and laughed, "We just told all the family secrets, s***.
" Harris has been struggling to gain ground among male voters in the election, as a USA Today /Suffolk University poll found Trump leading among men, with 53 percent of support to Harris' 37 percent. Newsweek contacted the Harris campaign for comment by email outside normal office hours. According to a poll by CBS News/YouGov, 44 percent of men perceive Harris to be a strong leader.
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Trump trailing Harris by 2 percentage points among Hispanic male voters. While Democrats have traditionally led this group, Trump appears to be narrowing the gap. Harris' support has plummeted to 49 percent among Black men under 50, according to a poll released.
