On our country's 250th birthday, the easy story to tell about young Americans is the sour one — that they've checked out. That's not what they said. The most surprising thing they said wasn't that they've lost faith. It's that so many of them, quietly and stubbornly, haven't @dellavolpe.bsky.social

After years of decline, 18–29-year-olds delivered a 35-point margin for @SpanbergerForVA — the biggest for Dems since 2017. Older voters barely moved, but young voters anchored the Democratic turnaround.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a dark moment. His politics were polarizing, yet many young people respected his willingness to debate openly and defend his beliefs. That commitment to free speech should be his legacy.

Interesting note in @dellavolpe.bsky.social’s Substack today: Trump’s approval rating of 39% with young voters right now is only barely better than Biden’s was at the end of this term. He’s crashing out hard. open.substack.com/pub/dellavol...

Trump and Musk's favorability in YouGov polling started strong among Gen Z and young millennials, but has cooled to ~40% at the moment. Parallel journeys for this pair. 📊

Gen Z voters redefined politics in '24 - with a historic 62-pt gender gap in PA and stark early vs. Election Day voting splits, young Americans aren't moving left or right but making hard choices based on what they see as economic survival. Here's my take. dellavolpe.substack.com/p/the-new-ru...
