Young Voters Bail on Trump

It’s official: young voters are ditching President Trump in droves. Just a few years ago, Trump was making inroads with voters under 30, narrowing the gap with Democrats. But now, that same group is pulling back – and it’s not hard to see why.

A Shift in the Wrong Direction

In 2024, Trump managed to outperform other Republican nominees with young voters, prompting talk of a ‘generational shift’ for the GOP. But that shift won’t happen if Trump can’t hold onto the voters he won over. And right now, it’s clear he’s losing them.

The question is, what’s behind this sudden shift? It’s not like Trump’s changed his tune – he’s still pushing the same divisive rhetoric that won him the presidency in the first place. Maybe young voters just aren’t buying what he’s selling anymore.
