Trump attracts young male voters with focus on traditional values and economy
Donald Trump successfully attracted young male voters in the recent presidential election, winning 49% of men aged 18-29. This marked a significant shift, as young voters typically lean left. His campaign emphasized traditional masculinity and economic issues. In contrast, Kamala Harris focused on abortion rights to appeal to women voters. However, she faced a gender divide, with women under 29 voting 61% for Harris compared to 37% for Trump. This highlights a growing split among young voters. Trump's appeal extended to Black and Latino men, with 30% of Black men under 45 voting for him, doubling his support from 2020. His appearances on popular male-dominated platforms helped energize this demographic, contributing to his overall success.
