Tonight, conservative singles in New York City are donning their cocktail attire and grabbing their “Make America Great Again” hats for Date Right’s exclusive Election Night Party. Date Right, the dating app for conservatives founded by former Trump Administration aide John McEntee, is celebrating more than just election results tonight—it’s marking the launch of its Android app on Google Play and a fresh rebrand.
The Election Night bash at 380 Canal Street promises an upbeat evening, serving political cocktails like “The Red Wave,” a nod to tonight’s anticipated outcomes, and the tongue-in-cheek “Green New Deal,” which, according to the menu, “costs more than it’s worth.” The high-energy event is part of Date Right’s “Make America Hot Again” series, a clever twist on the political slogan, designed to help conservative singles connect both on and offline.
Date Right’s popularity has surged since its 2022 debut as “The Right Stuff.” The app now boasts a nearly even gender ratio, at 54% male to 46% female, a significant improvement over the dating app industry’s male-heavy averages. McEntee, who joined Trump’s original campaign in 2015 and served as a trusted advisor to the former president, has poured his energy into creating a unique dating experience for conservative-minded singles.
“Politics are a big deal in dating right now, especially for young people who want partners that get their values,” McEntee explained. “Hosting tonight’s event in New York feels perfect to showcase this shift towards conservative ideals we’re seeing.”
The numbers back up McEntee’s claim. Date Right has seen over 300,000 downloads since its launch and counts millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram, with 3.4 million fans on @daterightstuff’s TikTok alone. Among the app’s success stories are 25 couples who’ve tied the knot, with one happy couple recently welcoming the first-ever “Date Right baby.”
Date Right co-founders Dan Huff and Isaac Stalzer share McEntee’s vision. By providing a dating platform focused on shared values and political alignment, Date Right is catering to a demand that has only intensified in recent years. With tonight’s Election Night Party, the app is inviting attendees to build connections that go beyond the typical swipe-and-chat experience.
Tonight’s event is open to both longtime members and curious newcomers, offering an opportunity to mingle in person over a cocktail and a common cause. As McEntee put it, “It’s a night for people to celebrate what they believe in and maybe meet someone who believes in it, too.”
With its fresh look, new Android accessibility, and a rapidly growing community, Date Right has no plans of slowing down. As the app continues to grow, it’s clear that, for conservative singles, it’s not just about finding love—it’s about finding someone who shares the same values.
