There is a bit of an ick factor. But I think the counter argument would be that other white males who are on the fence would see this group, find theoretical solidarity, and potentially consider Harris.

That being said, as a white male, I'd feel weird joining a group that self-identified based on their white male-ness.

Nothing good ever comes from excluding X group based on sex, gender, skin color, or religious background. Literally how you end up with Syndrome from The Incredibles. It would be funny if it wasn't creating horrible things like Andrew Tate incel culture.

Keep everyone in the loop, nobody feels rejected, and you extinguish incel and populist instincts before they can flare up and cause major problems. A bit of love and affection goes a surprisingly long way.
