According to an NBC exit poll, “Trump picked up a larger portion of voters under 30 than any Republican presidential candidate since 2008.”
The AP says, “Voters under age 30 represent a fraction of the total electorate, but about half of them supported Harris. That’s compared to the roughly 6 in 10 who backed Biden in 2020. Slightly more than 4 in 10 young voters went for Trump, up from about one-third in 2020.”
In Texas alone, they say, “In 2020, just 35% of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 voted for Trump. This year, that grew to 51%.”
