White men under 30 were solidly in Trump\u2019s camp this year \u2014 about 6 in 10 voted for Trump \u2014 while young Latino men were split between the two candidates. Most Black men under 30 supported Democrat Kamala Harris, but about one-third were behind Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Young Latino men\u2019s views of the Democratic Party were much more negative than in 2020, while young Black men\u2019s views of the party didn\u2019t really move. About 6 in 10 Latino men under 30 had a somewhat or very favorable view of the Democrats in 2020, which fell to about 4 in 10 this year. On the other hand, about two-thirds of young Black men had a favorable view of the Democrats this year, which was almost identical to how they saw the party four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYoung Hispanic men, and really young men in general, they want to feel valued,\u201d said Rafael Struve, deputy communications director for Bienvenido, a conservative group that focused on reaching young Hispanic voters for Republicans this year. \u201cThey\u2019re looking for someone who fights for them, who sees their potential and not just their struggles.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"What to know about Trump's second term: Staffing the administration: Here are the people Trump has picked for key positions so far.

His support among both groups increased by about 20 percentage points, according to AP VoteCast \u2014 and their feelings toward Trump got warmer, too.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t just Trump. The share of young men who identified as Republicans in 2024 rose as well, mostly aligning with support for Trump across all three groups. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is most alarming to me is that the election is clear that America has shifted right by a lot,\u201d said William He, founder of Dream For America, a liberal group that works to turn out young voters and supported Harris\u2019 presidential bid.<\/p>\n<p>With his bombastic demeanor and a policy agenda centered on a more <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/men-trump-harris-vote-election-hypermasculinity-97aab19f115ece7057c6ab049bcfed97\">macho understanding of culture<\/a><\/span>, Trump framed much of his campaign as a pitch to men who felt scorned by the country\u2019s economy, culture and political system. Young women also slightly swung toward the former president, though not to the degree of their male counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear how many men simply did not vote this year. But there\u2019s no doubt the last four years brought changes in youth culture and how political campaigns set out to reach younger voters.<\/p>\n<p>Democrat Kamala Harris\u2019 campaign rolled out policy agendas tailored to Black and Latino men, and the campaign enlisted a range of leaders in Black and Hispanic communities to make the case for the vice president. Her campaign began with a <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/kamala-harris-zoom-campaign-organizing-953777ee81887858851e584191859b4f\">flurry of enthusiasm<\/a><\/span> from many young voters, epitomized in memes and the campaign\u2019s embrace of pop culture trends like the pop star <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-democrats-young-voters-2024-161caa432cf440a029e998409940b4a2\">Charli XCX\u2019s \u201cbrat\u201d aesthetic<\/a><\/span>. Democrats hoped to channel that energy into their youth voter mobilization efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think most young voters just didn\u2019t hear the message,\u201d said Santiago Mayer, executive director of Voters of Tomorrow, a liberal group that engages younger voters. Mayer said the Harris campaign\u2019s pitch to the country was \u201clargely convoluted\u201d and centered on economic messaging that he said wasn\u2019t easily conveyed to younger voters who were not already coming to political media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think that the policies themselves were also very narrow and targeted when what we really needed was a simple, bold economic vision,\u201d said Mayer. <\/p>\n<p>Trump also embraced pop culture by appearing at UFC fights, football games and appearing alongside comedians, music stars and social media influencers. His strategists believed that the former president\u2019s ability to grab attention and make his remarks go viral did more for the campaign than paid advertisements or traditional media appearances. <\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s campaign also heavily cultivated networks of online conservative platforms and personalities supportive of him while also engaging a broader universe of podcasts, streaming sites, digital media channels and meme pages open to hearing him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe right has been wildly successful in infiltrating youth political culture online and on campus in the last couple of years, thus radicalizing young people towards extremism,\u201d said He, who cited conservative activist groups like Turning Point USA as having an outsize impact in online discourse. \u201cAnd Democrats have been running campaigns in a very old fashioned way. The battleground these days is cultural and increasingly on the internet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans may lose their broad support if they don\u2019t deliver on improving Americans\u2019 lives, Struve cautioned. Young men, especially, may drift from the party in a post-Trump era if the party loses the president-elect\u2019s authenticity and bravado.<\/p>\n<p>Bienvenido, for one group, will double down in the coming years to solidify and accelerate the voting pattern shifts seen this year, Struve said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want this to be a one and done thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Associated Press writer Joey Cappelletti in Lansing, Michigan, and AP polling editor Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-young-men-voters-election-latinos-democrats-ff30e38698a41132cf90345fffabe579\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 For years, Pat Verhaeghe didn\u2019t think highly of Donald Trump as a leader.
