In Chance for Trump, Youth at Rally See Him as Answer to Economic Woes

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

young FEMALE voters are overwhelmingly in favor of JoeB. I don’t care what ‘polling’ says. Guessing this Turner dufus was interviewed at a local diner.

4. A better headline would have been "Trump voter will vote for Trump again."

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.

If this young MAGA dipshit were some sort of bellwether of the general election, Biden wouldn't be in the White House right now, would he?

Trash article.

8. Another case for voters having to pass some kind of test

I know, there are too many reasons not to have it. But how many of the dipsticks could pass a citizenship test? Of course trump himself couldn’t pass a citizenship test. .

11. There's always youth like this

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.

12. So they profile a guy who voted for Trump in 2020 to profile how Biden is struggling winning over these voters?
