On Tuesday, Sirius XM’s Megyn Kelly applauded Democratic strategist James Carville after he cast blame on “preachy females” for the Democratic Party’s slump in popularity ahead of the 2024 election.
On Sunday, Carville told The New York Times in an interview Sunday that “too many preachy females” have made the Democratic Party’s agenda “too feminine” and focus too much on women voters.
“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females,” Carville said. “‘Don’t drink beer. Don’t watch football. Don’t eat hamburgers. This is not good for you.’ The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.'”
“If you listen to Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election,” he continued. “I’m like: ‘Well, 48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?'”
Kelly applauded the take, viewing Carville’s stance as accurate as an increasing number of men are leaving the Democratic party.
“I feel like he has his finger right on the pulse because there’s a reason why all these men are flocking to Trump and it’s not just white men. For the first time you have black men. The Democratic Party is losing black men,” Kelly said. “I mean, this has just never happened before. And there’s a reason. And I do think — I should play that Fani Willis soundbite again like, ‘I’m the face of feminism.’ No … no man, other than Nathan Wade, wants a part of that. No one! What man wants to be with that?”
Over the last three years, the Democratic Party has lost a considerable number of young black and Hispanic voters, losing about about 20% of their support since the start of the Biden Administration, a Feb. 7 Gallup poll found. The party holds a 47% lead with non-Hispanic black voters, the lowest since 1999.
Biden’s lead among black voters dropped from 90% in 2020 to 74% in October, a Fox News poll found. Only 88 percent of black voters chose the Democratic candidate in the 2022 midterms, versus 91 percent in 2020.
Additionally, a Quinnipiac University poll from late January found that fifty-three percent of men said they will support Trump, while only 42 percent prefer Biden. Women respondents in this same poll largely support Biden 58% to 36%.
