Former President and President-elect Donald Trump made inroads across several demographics, including young voters, and some are revealing why they opted to cast their ballot for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Many young men and women ditched the Democrat Party, ultimately supporting Trumpâs America First agenda. There has been much speculation on what, specifically, drew younger voters to the Trump-Vance ticket this time around â from Trump choosing Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), a millennial, as his running mate to the campaignâs embrace of alternative media, attracting younger audiences with appearances on popular podcasts such as Theo Vonâs and of course, Joe Roganâs.
Several young voters spoke to the New York Times, revealing why they decided to take the leap for Trump.
One 23-year-old Virginia woman was apparently stunned by her own decision, telling the Times, âI canât believe it, but I did end up voting for Donald Trump.â According to the outlet, her reasons included Trump choosing Vance, Trumpâs position as a âstrongâ leader, as well as opposition to the âassumptionsâ Democrats make based on gender.
âI voted for Donald Trump. Like Abigail, I was really impressed with JD Vance, especially during the V.P. debate,â another participant â a 21 year old named George from Georgia, said.
The Times revealed that others were turned off by the Biden-Harris handling of the war in Gaza, and they, too, enjoyed Trumpâs appearances on alternative media.
But, perhaps most stunningly for the establishment media, the Times revealed that âno issue animated the group more than immigration,â even if they do not personally agree with mass deportations.
One 25-year-old woman named McLane, 25, said she âshockedâ herself and voted for Trump. She, like the others, pointed to Trump choosing JD Vance.
âI was so impressed by JD Vance, the way he carried himself and how normal he appeared,â she said, also citing the leftâs war on women and pointing to an ad from the Trump campaign that stuck with her.
âI think I became radicalized on the men and womenâs sports issue. The ad that said, âKamala represents they/them. Trump represents you,â that was so compelling,â she said, adding, âWhile Trump is deranged, he represented normalcy somehow to me.â

Another young voter, a 22 year old named Jack of New York, said Trumpâs interview with Rogan was âhugeâ for him.
âTrump enthusiastically said yes to a three-hour, open, honest conversation with Joe Rogan, who was a former Bernie bro,â he remarked. â I think itâs very telling about which candidate is authentic and which candidate is not.â
The Trump voter named Abigail also noted that the media had become âso corrupted in their cause against Trump,â expressing disgust with the mediaâs lies.
One Virginia woman named Lillian, 27, said the ânail in the coffinâ for her was President Biden calling Trump supporters garbage âand then the White House moved to change the record officially.â

âThat really bothered me,â she said. âThat made me really want to rally against them.â
While many of the young voters admitted they did not love either candidate, many of them were motivated to vote for Trump due to the mediaâs lies, covering up for Harris, whom one of them described as âone of the biggest phonies in politics right now.â
Further, one of the Trump voters said she was also sick of the leftâs lies on abortion, putting it this way:
When I had my son almost a year ago, I had a hemorrhage. And I live in a state with an abortion ban. And I was still able to receive lifesaving care. I had a visceral reaction to people saying I wouldnât have received care, because itâs a lie. If theyâre preying on peopleâs ignorance and, quite frankly, their stupidity and their fear, I want nothing to do with it.
When asked to describe the 2024 Election, some of the phrases that came to mind for these young voters were telling â from âDemocrats still havenât learned to not be crazy,â âMake America normal again,â and âDemocracy in America wins.â
On other words, the leftâs corruption, lies, and lunacy pushed them to Trump for hope of normalcy.
