Trump Is Quickly Losing Young Voters

Young voters, a key part of Donald Trumps 2024 victory, are breaking with the president just a year into his second term, the Washington Post reports.
They told us exactly why when we traveled to North Carolina this month for a focus group. Many participants had voted for the president. They said they were exhausted, struggling to get ahead despite working multiple jobs, and confused about why Trump had gone to war with Iran.

Most young voters don't trust either party. It's more likely they won't vote than break towards the Dems.
The Democrats need to give them a reason and it might take years if the Democrats don't start listening
