Democrats Think They’re Winning Back Men and Rural Voters in 2026

Democrats Think They’re Winning Back Men and Rural Voters in 2026

“Ahead of next year’s midterms, some Democrats say the momentum is shifting.”

The 2026 midterms are still almost a year away, but that’s not stopping the liberal left from counting their chickens before they hatch. We are now being sold a new narrative that Democrats are going to win back men and rural voters who are disaffected by Trump’s performance so far in his second term.

They are severely discounting the loyalty of Trump voters, but there is a more important question here. What have Democrats done to win back male and rural voters? What have they changed? The answer is nothing. If anything, they have doubled down on their woke resistance.

This NBC News report cites the recent elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City, three locations that run the gamut from purple to deep blue, as proof that the Democrats are back:

The fight for young men intensifies ahead of the 2026 midterm elections

Winning the hearts and minds of young men has been at the center of politics over the past year. Republicans sought to cement President Donald Trump’s gains, while Democrats, fearing they could lose an increasingly disaffected segment of the electorate for a generation, launched a series of initiatives to prevent that.

Ahead of next year’s midterms, some Democrats say the momentum is shifting. High-profile Democrats running in last month’s elections — Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Zohran Mamdani in New York City — improved on the party’s poor performance among young men one year before. Some 2028 Democratic presidential contenders launched policy initiatives aimed at men and boys. And in Trump’s first year in office, many young men say they feel a continued economic and social malaise, cutting into his support with that key group.

“I never want to hear again that the Democratic Party has a problem with young men,” Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin told reporters after the November elections.

Again, these people have not changed a thing. The DNC won’t even release its autopsy of the 2024 election. They think they can just wait out Trump and everything will go right back to the way it was.

Politico focused on the rural voters:

Democrats spy rare opening in rural America

Democrats are accustomed to losing in rural America — especially to Donald Trump. Now they’re hoping the president’s own policies might prove to be the leverage they need going into next year’s midterms.

The party faces immense challenges in farm country that have overwhelmingly voted Republican for decades and turned out in droves on the president’s behalf three times. But over the past year, those same communities have borne the brunt of his tariff agenda, health care center closures, lingering inflation and cuts to public lands programs.

Where Trump sees an “A++++++” economy, large percentages of both Republican and Democratic voters blame his decisions for stubbornly high prices for groceries and housing, according to recent polling from POLITICO and Public First.

Who is going to lead the charge in winning back these male and rural voters? Liberal podcaster Jennifer Welch?

No one embodies the spirit of the party of the hectoring sister-in-law better than her.

Pardon me if I remain skeptical about their chances of winning back men and people in red states.

Well I;m not young but I;m never voting for a democrat again.

If this ugly bitter shrew is the face of the democrat party good luck keeping the simps you have,

The more women reveal themselves on social media the stronger the red pill movement will grow. When considering the progressive nutjob AWFULs making up a large portion of the democratic party the more men will flee it as well.

I don’t think I’ve seen a worse face on a woman trying that hard to be pretty. Maybe Kathy Griffin but it’s close.

Rs have a problem with turnout when DJT is not on the ballot. Democrats may APPEAR to make inroads with men and rural voters in next year’s midterms if turnout does not improve. Unless Rs can motivate MAGA supporters to vote, the accomplishments of 45/47 may come to a screeching halt after the midterms.

    Yep. Totally correct. IMO the problem seems to be that Congressional GoP leadership isn’t very keen on adopting and implementing the policies the center/right populists (aka MAGA voters) want enacted. If the leaders in HoR and in Senate keep trying to offer up the stale chamber of commerce approved, neocon/globalist agenda then lots of center/right populists may very well stay home. It’s not really surprising b/c they’d be correct in observing that, so far, neither the d/prog nor the GoP in Congress is interested in responding to their wants/needs.

    I’ll go a step further: if Rs can’t figure out why Nick Fuentes is popular with Gen Z males (and make no mistake, he is hugely popular with them), they WILL lose the young vote for another generation.

    Disagree, and we have recent history that also disagrees with you.

    Democrats don’t offer anything for the sane part of America and the last special election showed us just how unhinged Democrats have become and even with DJT not being on the ballot, the Republicans won.

    Time to shift your thinking from the past to the present.

    The more Democrats show us the real face of hatred the more people will vote against that hatred.

      I hope you are right. Spanberger recently won the governor’s race in Virginia due to greatly improved Democrat turnout, compared to four years ago when Youngkin won. The mayoral race in Miami flipped to blue for the first time in 40 years due in part to low turnout.

      So please tell me what recent history contradicts my concern about turnout.

I’m not sure some screeching, nagging older woman looking an awful lot like Cruella Deville on a bad day with her Karen Mode dialed up past eleventy is gonna shift the needle for rural voters and male voters.

The frustrating Catch-22 is that if anyone dealt out to this woman what she richly deserves, they’d only be improving her nose.

give fjb credit

by announcing loudly that the only worthy people are anything but

whts…..his message was/is received loud and clear and of course rejected

add to that the murder of charlie kirk and the green haired male wannabes inhabiting positions of authority and we have a

rebellion in th4 making

and other reason ( uk as one example) why censoring of “hateful” messages otherwise know as disagreement is being censored by governments the world over and being pushed by lefty and rinos in the usa

sometimes for differing reasons ( once again the gop *acting* all bs higher morals) p 0rn

and lefty ( for bs protecting the fweelings) of all but wht males

Democrats think they have finally called me racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic, hateful, a Nazi, a fascist, and evil enough times that I’m going to finally vote for them.

They have brainwashed most every child in the country with the Culture Marxism Seminaries, why would they have a chance?

The rectum that s—t that woman out owes the world an apology.

Matt Walsh has one of the best takes. Watch it all, but especially starting at minute 13.

Welch should file a lawsuit against the Somalian plastic surgeon who did a job on her face. It’s stretched tighter than a new snare drum head.

“Democrats think”

Mike, put down the keyboard and slowly step away from the computer. These nice, young men (in their clean, white coats) are here to help you…

Where Trump sees an “A++++++” economy, large percentages of both Republican and Democratic voters blame his decisions for stubbornly high prices for groceries and housing, according to recent polling from POLITICO and Public First.

What? I had been assured by the Very Best and Brightest (TM) that the Communist Party’s campaign of calling for the arrest, torture and death of “racists” (read: anyone who does not bow the knee to Stalin and Mao) was resulting in trillions of new voters joining the Communist Party every hour on the hour.

The Democrats aren’t winning anything. The GOP is losing them by inaction.

Not OT this time. Donald Trump absolutely is on the ballot in 2026. Think of what the Dems want to do to him, what they want to do to his agenda, what they will do to the country — If TDS wins we are so effed it is TERRIFYING. TDS is not a basis for rational public policy or anything else.
