After two successive women lost the race for president \u2014 and with the GOP increasingly claiming the testosterone-fueled \u201cmanosphere\u201d \u2014 a lot of Democratic insiders are starting to worry the party is a bit too low-T. Even its successful new faces, like Jon Ossoff and James Talarico, might still be too soft<\/em>. (This might explain why a recent Instagram post from @Democrats showed Talarico gnawing on meat.)<\/p>\n

\n

They\u2019re racked with anxiety: Where are the masculine Democrats? They believe American voters need a manly man, someone who isn\u2019t \u201csmoothgroined,\u201d who can drink beer and watch video games and eat a hamburger and have sex without a condom, who \u201chas the solid physicality of a man who makes his living outdoors,\u201d who will bring young men back into the Democratic fold. They want a bro<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But wait: Actually, the newest icon of Democratic power fits that bill almost exactly. He\u2019s a Carhartt-wearing, marathon-running, fully bearded dude<\/em> who loves to chow down. He\u2019s obsessed with the Knicks and recently made a basketball-themed campaign ad. When he was campaigning last year, he toured the edgy \u201cmanosphere\u201d podcast world and easily traded riffs about bench pressing and shitposting. Analysts describe his politics using testosterone-forward metaphors like \u201cmuscled,\u201d \u201cpower broker,\u201d and \u201ckingmaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is, of course, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani \u2014 who\u2019s able to go one-on-one with President Donald Trump, wears the hell out of a suit, and channels the populist energy of Bernie-bro politics more effectively than anyone else under 80. \u201cHis vision, whether you like it or not, is incredibly bold and in your face,\u201d which is a traditionally masculine attribute, says Pawan Dhingra, a sociologist at Amherst College.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cZohran\u2019s a good hang,\u201d streaming star and certified bro Hasan Piker said of Mamdani in a 2025 interview with the New York Times. \u201cHe\u2019s just a dude, and it\u2019s good to be a dude sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, why isn\u2019t Mamdani the Democrats\u2019 new icon of masculinity?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Instead, the pro-masculinity discussion has mostly held up Graham Platner, the controversial Democratic nominee for Maine\u2019s Senate seat, as the butch future of the party. Ken Klippenstein approvingly described Platner as \u201ctatted up, ex-Marine riff-raff\u201d in contrast to the \u201casexual, Harvard-educated McKinsey consultant\u201d he feels represents the classic Democratic machine candidate. Sebastian Junger wrote that Platner \u201cdoesn\u2019t scan \u2018Democrat\u2019\u201d (a good thing, in Junger\u2019s estimation) because he \u201cmight be the only Democratic candidate or congressman I wouldn\u2019t want to mess with.\u201d James Carville, who has been vocal in his belief that Democrats\u2019 image is too feminine and naggy, mused that while Platner might be \u201cfucked up\u201d from his time at war, perhaps \u201cwe need a combat veteran right on that Senate floor who is fucked up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But while Platner hasn\u2019t yet proved he can win in a general election, Mamdani has. What\u2019s more, he\u2019s achieved that misty goal Democrats are always chasing: He\u2019s proved he\u2019s able to connect with men and with Trump voters while also energizing the Democratic base. In the 2025 New York City mayoral election, registration surged, general election turnout hit a 50-year high, and exit polls showed that he picked up a solid half of the male vote \u2014 more than any other candidate \u2014 as well as 9 percent of 2024 Trump voters. Earlier this week, Mamdani\u2019s get-out-the-vote effort helped push three Democratic Socialists of America allies through their primaries, in a clear demonstration of his political might.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mamdani and Platner are both highly masculine figures. They both have populist platforms. And they\u2019ve both run as party outsiders (and one of them has won a general election). So why does only one of them keep showing up in think pieces about why Democrats need to embrace and appeal to men?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The real issue, Dhingra says, is that when people talk about getting men to vote Democrat, \u201cthere\u2019s a male vote and there\u2019s a masculine vote.\u201d Those are two different things.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The male<\/em> vote is what we can confidently say Mamdani won in 2025. The masculine<\/em> vote is what pundits are talking about when they say Democrats need to win over men, and that is a lot more vibes-based.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe have a notion of masculinity that\u2019s kind of white, middle-working-class, muscular, patriarchal to some degree,\u201d Dhingra says. When they\u2019re talking about the masculine vote, political commentators and strategists look for evidence of that specifically white<\/em> masculinity, even if they don\u2019t say that outright.<\/p>\n

\n

Platner, with his military background, his embrace of guns, and his career in manual labor, fits that white working-class image, despite having a wealthy family. Cosmopolitan Mamdani, who attended a private liberal arts college and was a campus activist and a comedy rapper in his youth, does not. Even his love of sports is a little off, Dhringa says. Mamdani is a soccer guy, and in the United States, soccer is coded as suspiciously European. \u201cThe fact that it\u2019s sports but it\u2019s not like that<\/em> is a metaphor,\u201d Dhringa says. \u201cHe\u2019s getting the male vote, but he\u2019s not masculine.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dhringa, the author of the forthcoming book Success Won\u2019t Save Us: How Asian Americans Can Fight White Supremacy<\/em>, sees this issue as part of a bigger pattern. \u201cWe\u2019ve consistently reduced masculinity to white maleness and femininity to white femaleness,\u201d he says. Outside of politics, conversations about the crisis of masculinity tend to focus on the problems affecting white guys, like high rates of suicide. \u201cWe\u2019re only talking about the plight of white men,\u201d Dhingra says. \u201cDoes anyone even know about the friendship experiences of Black men? No. We know that white men suffer from this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dhringra points to mass incarceration, which disproportionately affects Black men and is overwhelmingly talked about as a race problem. \u201cIt was not a crisis of manhood,\u201d he says of these discussions. \u201cBut now that more white men are ending up in jail or showing these other negative social indicators, now<\/em> we have a crisis of manhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s certainly possible that at least part of this disconnect is about Mamdani and Platner\u2019s policies. To some of the commentators who are deeply concerned about Democratic masculinity, especially Carville, support for Israel is a requirement. But Mamdani has repeatedly reiterated his belief in Israel\u2019s right to exist, and Platner, who opposes sending US aid to Israel (and wore a Nazi tattoo for years), is not exactly Israel\u2019s staunchest ally. And Carville\u2019s concerns are not universal: Klippenstein, another Platner fan, has been enthusiastic about Mamdani\u2019s \u201cmagic\u201d \u2014 just not necessarily about his dudeliness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And while Mamdani\u2019s criticism of Israel might trouble some Democrats, it speaks to the younger generation of voters Democrats are theoretically trying to woo. In contrast, Platner\u2019s campaign has been plagued by one scandal after another, including allegations of \u201cunsettling\u201d behavior with ex-girlfriends. His partisans argue that such a grimy past adds to his real dude cred \u2014 but it remains a weak spot for a party that still relies on women to power its voting bloc, regardless of how much effort it\u2019s putting into courting men.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Calling all political weaknesses (generously) even, it\u2019s more likely that race is playing a role in the Mamdani paradox. But Dhringa says Mamdani\u2019s mysterious absence from the masculinity conversation has more to do with his general not-whiteness than with his specific Indian heritage and Ugandan upbringing. Dhringa says that 20 years ago, South Asian American men were overwhelmingly stereotyped as nerdy and effeminate, but their image now is more complicated. He cites a plethora of powerful South Asian American CEOs like Google and Alphabet\u2019s Sundar Pichai, as well as political figures like Mamdani for the Democrats and Kash Patel for Republicans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cTwenty years ago I had a pretty simple answer I would give\u201d on how Americans view South Asian men, he says. \u201cNow I don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Vox reached out to Carville and Klippenstein for comment and did not hear back from them. Junger declined to comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ultimately, the manliness conversation has other downsides: It also flattens masculinity into one violent, unintellectual stereotype. \u201cMasculinity has different dimensions to it, and one person never embodies all the dimensions,\u201d Dhringa says. Manly men don\u2019t have to be as solitary and withholding as John Wayne in an old Western. They can be leaders who use their masculine charisma to connect with and protect other people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That\u2019s the kind of manliness Mamdani represents. Democrats have the opportunity to embrace him as an avatar of the party, to try to leverage his confidence and swagger to boost other candidates, to learn from the strategies he\u2019s employed to connect with the base they\u2019re looking to cultivate. They have the opportunity to look for and cultivate talent in other Mamdanis: men who might not fit the white working-class profile, but who do know how to hang with the dudes when they have to.<\/p>\n
