I think they have to address working-class young men in general, and not specifically white working-class young men. In general, there's a cohort of men of all races who feel that governments have largely been focused on other groups and that they have been forgotten and left behind. I think there's a lot of truth to this and it could pay off for a politician to actually speak to it instead of treating it like a hot stone.
