Trump wins 2024 election with strong support from young male voters
Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris and securing a significant number of young male voters. This demographic, typically less engaged, supported Trump by a 13-point margin, marking a shift from previous elections. Trump's outreach included appearances on popular podcasts, which resonated with young men. Many first-time voters, like 27-year-old Alan Shindelman, switched their support to Trump after being influenced by his policies and campaign messaging. In contrast, Harris's campaign struggled to connect with young men, who felt she did not address their concerns. While she won young women by 18 points, her support among them was weaker than in previous elections.
