In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, young voters' support is shifting. Once supporters who propelled Trump back to the White House, they are increasingly dissatisfied with his policies. According to The Economist, the rise of the millennial and Gen Z cohorts is a pivotal factor in this dramatic election. These younger voters, previously loyal to the Democratic Party, are now looking towards alternative choices due to economic pressures and dissatisfaction with policies.

A report by Catalist reveals a decrease in young voters supporting the Democratic Party. In the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris's support among these two generations has dropped by 12 percentage points, contrasting sharply with Biden's advantage in 2020.

With economic conditions worsening, young people's unemployment rates significantly exceed those of older generations, especially among those aged 20 to 24, making them more sensitive to economic issues. Social media has emerged as a primary source for young voters to obtain political information, influencing their attitudes towards the Democratic Party.
