Young Trump Voters in NH: Mixed Reviews

0:00From geopolitics to global markets, this is Global News Today. A group of college students in New Hampshire who voted for Donald Trump are giving his second term mixed reviews. These six young men, mostly 20-year-olds at St. Anselm College, range from cautious support to real disappointment. Their views echo a bigger trend among young guys who helped Trump win in 2024. Several complained about stubborn high prices, student debt, and trouble buying homes after graduation. They also called immigration enforcement too harsh under Trump. One sophomore graded him a C-plus, saying the president has not fixed everyday economic pains. Poles back this up, with approval among men aged 18-29, dropping from 43% in February to 33% last. Month, analysts say young voters feel no real gains since Trump took office in January 2025. This shift worries Republicans about holding slim majorities in Congress come the midterms.

1:01The Republican National Committee launched a TikTok account last month to reach young people, where six in 10 under 30 hang out. Party insiders push for more focus on jobs, inflation, and housing over foreign policy. White House aides claim Trump has done more for young men than anyone. In New Hampshire's open-center race, both parties chase youth votes. Democrats like Chris Papas post on TikTok about housing costs and planned influencer events. Republican Scott Brown uses his band and basketball coaching to connect, with young staff boosting his online game. The students still plan to vote Republican, but crave less division.
