CNN host Dana Bash explained Wednesday evening at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago that the Democratic Party is trying to appeal to men with lower testosterone.

CNN host Jake Tapper told Bash and CNN’s Abby Phillip that women “overwhelmingly” support Vice President Kamala Harris, while men tend to support Trump, but not “as much” as women opt for Harris. Bash added to the conversation about the gender gap among voters, stating that the Democrats are “learning” how to run against 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“There’s the gender gap, the idea that for the last month, the Democratic Party has been rallying around a woman at the top of the ticket,” Bash said, mentioning the party made Hillary Clinton their 2016 presidential nominee too.

Bash noted that Clinton and Harris are “very different” candidates, pointing out that the Harris campaign strategically uses male messengers, like 2024 Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz and Harris’s husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff.

“They are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out of the RNC — or might want to listen to that,” Bash told her fellow CNN hosts.

“But also, in addition, understand that it’s okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin who supports a woman,” Bash continued. “And that’s something that they really want to try to work on with male voters beyond the base.”

Emhoff addressed the DNC on Tuesday night, while Walz delivered his speech Wednesday night. (RELATED: CNN Panelist Says He’s Identified ‘Glaring Hole’ In Harris-Walz Campaign)

In July, the crowd at the Republican National Convention (RNC) went wild as wrestling legend and keynote speaker Hulk Hogan took the stage and ripped his shirt off. Other RNC speakers discussed by the CNN hosts included Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White, who spoke before Trump, and musician Kid Rock.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
