Tommy too. No offense to “Tommy” name havers; but holy shit, you drop it to Tom around the same age you stop wearing baseball caps backwards. This guy isn’t even following basic white cis-het male rules.

It’s a specific tactic that politicians use. “Tommy” sounds more approachable than “Tom” or “Thomas.” This is why we know Charles Schumer as “Chuck” and Addison McConnell III as “Mitch.” The folksy name feels friendlier and therefore gets more votes.
