In the recent election, both the Trump and Harris campaigns made significant efforts to appeal to young voters, but it seems that ultimately, it was the Trump campaign that managed to successfully mobilize this crucial demographic. Despite the widespread belief that young voters overwhelmingly support progressive policies and candidates, Election Day showed a different reality.
Through targeted advertising, social media engagement, and in-person events, the Trump campaign was able to effectively reach and engage with younger voters. Whether it was through messages of economic prosperity, law and order, or a strong national defense, the campaign effectively tapped into the concerns and values of young voters across the country.
The turnout among young voters for Trump was surprisingly high, with many citing a strong belief in the President’s ability to bring about change and improvement in their lives. Whether it was through job creation, deregulation, or support for law enforcement, young voters saw Trump as the candidate who aligned with their interests and values.
While the Harris campaign also made efforts to appeal to young voters, it seems that their messaging may have missed the mark with this demographic. Whether it was a lack of enthusiasm for the Biden-Harris ticket or a disconnect on key issues, young voters ultimately showed up in larger numbers for Trump.
In the end, the results of the election have shown that young voters are a crucial voting bloc that cannot be underestimated or overlooked. As the country moves forward, both parties will need to continue to engage with and listen to this important demographic in order to secure their support in future elections.

Anybody know how many of the superstars left the country? … or when they're leaving?
As George Carlin said: "Think of how stupid the average person is and then realize half of them are stupider than that". Its going to be a long four years.
Or maybe it’s just inflation. It’s difficult for an incumbent party to overcome a low approval rating and 45% of voters saying they are worse off than four years ago. It doesn’t matter that Trump’s tariffs and other policies are going to increase inflation and cause a recession. What matters to most voters how they feel about the economy and they vote against economic pain.
My 1st time 19yr daughter voted Trump.
I am 19 years old. I don't care about the environment, LGBT issues, or the Middle East. My issue is paying my bills and buying groceries. Nothing else matters.
what plan does he have ?
At the end up the day, Trump targeted areas that the entire Liberal Party never even thought of. If the Dems' wanna appeal to these younger generations, stop being racist, move away from these work agendas, and hire someone qualified for the job instead of some DEI candidate with a 30% approval rating.
I don't blame Gen Z but I had hope for them. No change for humanity, just another American generation in the rat race of life. Searching for momentary satisfaction brought on by material possessions.
I didn’t realize there are so many Donald Trump fans who identify as Swifties too. 🤔
Proud to say I'm 28 and didn't vote.
Remember – Kamala called this ENTIRE DEMOGRAPHIC STUPID
NBC is "reporting" that people like to hear actual reporting and act genuinely surprised when told. Smh
As a 18 year old black male whos a first time voter, Im proud to say I voted for Trump 💪🏾🇺🇸
Hitler Mussolini Mao all had the support of young generation when they ascended to power. And we know what happened after that.
Gen z voters project 2025???
Democratic Party is hijacked by neoconservatives
Im 34 and voted for Trump, and finally stood up to my parents. And yes, youth is from 18-34.
The lights are on, but nobody's home.
What exactly is his plan? Other than cutting taxes for the rich and corporations.
America is america cause we help the needy.otherwise america wouldn’t be america im 19 I voted 🗳️ for Kamala for peace I voted for others not me
Idiocracy society. Clevons offspring. Idiots.
Our public education system really has failed us.
Oh well. Democracy was fun while it lasted.
Enjoy suppression, youngsters.
Gen Z is supposed to be the most progressive generation, what happened?!? I guess us millennials still have to steer the boat. These young men are the WORST.
U.S. Millenial/GenZ Draftables voted for Trump.
These are the young men that don't need tampons
Yes , True Americans are tired of seeing their flag burned both young and old .🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸TRUMP
The only reason I voted for Trump is so he could close the border & deport all the illegals in the country currently. I don’t even care about any of his other policies. I know he’s a foul motor mouthed narcissist but it is what it is. The Democrats are so out of touch with reality. If RFK Jr had been the nominee, the democrats would had won by a landslide.
Yesterday was " Trash Day " and the garbage was put out.
Well done Gen Z… You guys did the right thing.
As a non American, is kamala that unpopular?😂
David Hogg told me that the young voters were in the bag for Harris.
They showed up because they’re smart enough not to watch legacy media like MSNBC
Stop the bs from the left. All indexes up after Trump got elected. Our economy likes him to be president. By the way, democrats has no excuse this time losing both electoral votes and popular votes. People are sick of them dividing the country.
So proud of these youngsters 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Charlie Kirk did that
People had enough of her and the democrats
But but Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala 😂😂😂😂
Though I understand the concern that young people have for their economic situation……90% of US GDP Economic Output come from blue states and blue cities. Republicans have never been the party for economic prosperity and Trump has done nothing for the economy.
