Democrats have a man problem. And it’s not just because, as Judge Jeanine Pirro informed recently, only 12 percent of liberal women “claim to be completely satisfied with their lives — and it is because all the manly men have flocked to President Trump.” It’s also, on a related note, this:
Democrats have long relied on young voters as part of a winning coalition. They delivered in 2020, too, as Joe Biden won the 18-29 vote by 24 points (59 percent to 35 percent). They broke Democratic in 2024 as well, albeit by a much narrower margin: six points. (Fifty-two percent supported Kamala Harris, 46 percent Donald Trump.)
To the point here, however, the shift among young men — and some other male demographics — was striking. Men 18-29 voted for Biden over Trump in 2020 56 to 41 percent. Yet this was almost precisely reversed in 2024: 56 percent of young men supported Trump; only 42 percent went Harris.
