Summary

Young voters (18-29) significantly increased their support for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, with nearly half backing him, up from one-third in 2020, according to AP VoteCast.

Unlike older Trump voters, younger supporters prioritize economic issues over immigration, are concerned about climate change, and favor more government involvement in health care and student debt forgiveness.

They are also less supportive of fossil fuel expansion, hardline immigration policies, and tariffs.

This raises questions about their loyalty to the Republican Party in the future.

If you don’t show up you don’t mater and you get what you get.

They pretty clearly do matter since we're all getting what they're getting

Either way, this would explain the discrepancy between the average policy preferences of the generation as a whole and what the ones who voted in 2024 voted for, we're basically talking about different groups

Which is also what happens if you're progressive and vote Democrat.
