Thin with a boyish face and earrings in both ears, 23-year-old Isayah Turner does not look like a stereotypical Trump supporter, who tend to be middle aged or older.
Nevertheless, Turner drove two hours from his home outside Milwaukee on a recent Tuesday to see Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, one of a contingent of young voters there that some opinion polls suggest could be a growing and important demographic for Trump.
For Democratic incumbent Joe Biden, who overwhelmingly won the youth vote in 2020, an erosion of his support among young voters could potentially dampen his hopes of a second term.
Turner, who runs a dog breeding business with his mother, voted for Trump in 2020. He supports Trump's pro-oil drilling stance, his opposition to gun control - Turner owns several firearms - and his pledge to crack down on illegal immigration

(7,873 posts)How the fuck they paint a 2020 Trump voter/supporter who will vote/support Trump again in 2024 as a bad thing for Biden, I have no clue.

Trash article.

(1,840 posts)That really signifies little - youth are no more a monolith than are middle aged people or old people. I grew up around loads of youth like that (small conservative town).
It's like the myth that the generation of the 60s all rebelled - not really, I was a just a kid then but I recall little to no rebellion - it was something we saw on TV, or we had to go into the city and then find out where these rebels congregated.
One reason why I think polls are so silly.
