When he moved to Pennsylvania about five years ago, it was a coin toss which party Brian Heitman would register with.
No longer.
Since Donald Trump's election in 2016, Heitman, who is 42 and white, has become a reliable Democrat. Last week, he voted for the Democratic candidate in a special state Senate election in Pittsburgh's affluent southern suburbs.
"A decade ago I probably wouldn't have even noticed this election was happening," Heitman said, "but I'm making a point in voting in every one I can nowadays."
The Democrats' 2020 presidential primary may feature a historically diverse field of women and minorities, but in some ways it is testing how the party appeals to white men such as Heitman. Many Democratic politicians went into the last presidential campaign cycle taking little account of those voters, and banked on a coalition of women and minorities to carry them to victory. Trump's victory proved that thinking wrong. Many in the party are determined now not to make the mistake again.

They don’t act like they need me. Seems just the opposite to me.
The opening story is such a scam.
Since 2012, PA DemoKKKrats have lost 250,000 off their voter rolls. GOP has lost some too, but has a NET gain of about 84,000 since 2016. That has held steady for over a year.
So it’s predictable they wouldn’t do a story on a guy who has registered R.
WHAT DO YOU SAY to get them!?!!?
They’re doing GREAT under Trump!!
99 percent of Rs are happy with him!!
i never saw that number before!!
i think i’m wrong on what it was about though?
99 percent what? :)
More predictable propaganda by the Asinine Press.
That is a fake azz story
They gate and despise me.
He voted one time and that makes him a reliable voter?
[”I’m not happy with the way President Trump has been running the country, or his ideology,” said Wessell, a corporate lawyer. He cited Trump’s immigration stance and denial of climate science.]
Oh yeah, more illegals running through the country and Global Warming.
You truly cannot fix stupid.
Now he’s voting in the “small elections” - D, of course.
Though in all fairness I’d say I was happy with him just to annoy the Left.
I love watching Democrats’ heads explode.
I don’t see anything to suggest that they are making a push for white male voters. If anything, they are doubling down on identity politics.
A white male voting for democrats is like a chicken voting for colonel sanders.
but only for one or two more elections.
Then Heitman is a complete moron. Unless he’s gay or something. Even then, pay attention, the party gets the Muslim vote...that doesn’t bode well for gays.
Frankly, I can’t understand why any white male would vote D, they practically hate you....add to that your wives, they’re no longer welcome either!
This is just another dumb example of the media trying to convince everyone of what isn’t true. My guess is that for every Heitman there’s 10 that woke up and will never vote D again.
Undoubtedly, yes.
But that is what you get with an AP/MSN "news" story. They are flogging that dead mule, trying to tell their readers that white males are somehow rushing back to join the Left Liars.
The party of slavers and segregation continue their story telling and the MSM is quick to create "news" to support the narrative.
Believe nothing that comes from the globalist news organizations AP, UPI, AFP and Reuters unless it is independently reported by trustworthy journalists/news organizations.
They wail about my toxic masculinity and white privilege but want my vote? With friends like that......
That’s what I was thinking. Supposedly the difference in minority turnout between Obama in 2012 and Hillary in 2016 would have won Hillary the election. They need someone who turns out those minorities like Obama did.
