“My concern about Democrats is only a handful of years ago. For every 1,000 young people who turn 1800, they’ll say that 700 or 700 of them are in line with Democrats, like 700 or 700,” says Della Volpe. “It was like this incredible opportunity for Democrats to be like a new generation and the kind of kind of values ​​they have. They didn’t convey that very well.”

“And now, we know that, because of concerns about economics, we think it’s the beginning of a post-ideological era with young people, and that’s a much more practical way of thinking that it’s the beginning of a post-ideological era with young people. “That’s a concern if young people agree with Democrats on most issues, but they haven’t voted for the number of Democrats in the past. That’s a big concern, isn’t it, since my generation is becoming more conservative, right?”

President Donald Trump gained significant support with younger voters in 2024 for former Vice President Kamala Harris, compared to his crucial demographic support for former President Joe Biden in 2020, according to CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten.

“If you look at the Trump vs. Democrat margins, if you look at voters under the age of 25, you’re back to 2020,” the data analyst said. “Look, Joe Biden has won this group by far, look at it, look at it with 34 points, look at 2024.

“Trump has gained more among voters under 25 than any other age group,” he continued. “If you think of young people as Democrats, they may still be on the Democrats rather than the same number as before, even four years ago, but Donald Trump is doing pretty good things among younger voters.”

Trump also made a significant break-in with Hispanic men during the 2024 election, securing the majority of votes across the country.
