Hi, everyone. Donald Trump won in 2024 in part by cobbling together a coalition that included young voters, especially young men. So now we want to know: Will those voters stick with Republicans in the midterms, switch sides, or stay home? John Della Volpe directs polling at Harvard’s Institute of Politics. He’s going to talk to us about a new youth poll that offers clues to what I’m just asking.
So, give us the big picture. How enthusiastic are young voters these midterms? And do you think that Republicans are going to hold on to the young people who supported Donald Trump last cycle, but may be wobbling or disappointed right now?
