Chapters

First-time voters, many of whom were children during Trump's initial campaign, have a unique perspective on his political career. Their views are shaped by their limited exposure to pre-Trump politics and the influence of his rhetoric.
  • Many first-time voters were 9 or 10 years old when Trump launched his first presidential campaign.
  • Younger voters have only known Trump-era politics.
  • Some young voters view Trump as a politician who fulfilled his promises, citing examples such as overturning Roe v. Wade and starting the border wall.
  • For many young conservatives, Trump embodies their idea of the Republican Party.
