Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is urging Democrats to confront their growing disconnect with young male voters. Walz warned in a podcast released this week that the party must do more to offer a sense of purpose, pride, and opportunity—or risk losing them to figures on the right like President Donald Trump and influencer Andrew Tate.

In a wide-ranging interview on the new podcast “At Our Table” with former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, Walz said Democrats need to understand what’s driving younger men toward political disengagement or into Republican hands.
