Disillusioned with swinging Democrats, young men are turning to Make America Great Again in 2024.

According to polling from the Harvard Kennedy School of Politics, male voters under the age of 30 have shifted a net fourteen points toward Republicans over the course of just four years.

Citing inflation, immigration, the demise of the American dream, the left’s war on “toxic masculinity” and the former president’s ability to hang out with their favorite podcasters, young men told The Post what made them willing to to support Trump in November. .

“As far as young male voters are concerned, I feel like the Democrats don’t have a message for them. The Democrats have completely ignored that base,” Alex Bruesewitz, a 27-year-old Trump campaign adviser, told The Post.

“I think they lack testosterone in the Kamala HQ campaign team.”

The Trump campaign’s strategy of blowing up the podcast circuit — talking to Joe Rogan and Logan Paul — and campaigning on issues important to young men, like immigration and strengthening the economy, has paid off.

Daniel Idfresne, a 20-year-old Syracuse student from Brooklyn, says Trump has all his friends at school talking.

“I hear from my friends who aren’t necessarily into politics that these clips (of Trump on podcasts) naturally appear on their feeds,” he said. “I think the Trump campaign has been very successful in reaching young men, whether they are politically informed or not.”

Idfresne cast an early vote for Trump. He says his main drivers are inflation and the precarious state of international politics under Biden’s watch.

The latest Times/Siena polls showed Trump leading Harris among young men 58 percent to 37 percent, significantly closing the gap he had with Biden in 2020. Since taking over the Democratic ticket, Harris has won among young women, but she is doing no better with young men than Biden.

Team Trump has done a lot lately to get in front of young men.

The former president has appeared at UFC matches in front of cheering crowds, while the Republican National Convention was a testosterone fest, with a speech from UFC president Dana White and wrestler Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt apart on stage to wear a red Trump-Vance tank to reveal top underneath.

Since appearing on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the episode has been viewed 34 million times on YouTube as of last Friday. He also guested on ‘This Past Weekend’ with stand-up comedian Theo Vonn and ‘Impulsive’ with influencer and pro wrestler Paul (to whom he gifted a T-shirt with his mugshot on it, prompting the podcaster to call him ‘ gangster’).

According to Gavin Wax, president of the New York Young Republican Club, it is attractive to see Trump dating influencers.

“Part of Trump’s appeal is the unapologetic, machismo vibe that he exudes,” Wax, 30, told The Post. “He has lived a full life and I think a lot of young men look up to him.”

Trump’s campaign platform – dedicated to “the forgotten men and women of America” ​​– focuses on issues that matter most to male voters, such as beating inflation, “(building) the greatest economy in history” and ‘bringing back the American dream’. and (making) it affordable again for families, young people and everyone.”

According to Wall Street Journal polls, young men overwhelmingly say the economy is their biggest problem, and voters under 30 trust Trump more than Harris.

Idfresne says Trump’s priorities appeal to him: “There’s a general message that conservatives give to young men that you could be the hero of your own story, and they provide an economic platform that allows you to succeed.”

Michael Oved, 20, says Trump also appeals to young voters like him because he expands what it means to be a Republican.

“Trump’s inclusion of RFK (Jr.) in his campaign signals his intention to diversify the ideas and people in the party, and that is attractive to young voters,” Oved, a Harvard senior who does not support Kennedy, told The Post .

Oved is the president of his university’s Republican Club. Over the past year, he has seen their campus mailing list grow from 112 members to 885.

He plans to vote for Trump in November, citing the economy, foreign relations and reviving the American dream as his top issues. He also likes that Trump is no-nonsense.

“The youth have had enough of politicians not telling them honestly. Whether people support Trump’s policies or not, he tells it like it is,” Oved said.

Experts say Kamala Harris’ campaign views and advertising are also pushing young men toward Trump.

One widely ridiculed campaign ad targeted “real men” who are “not afraid of women” and are “man enough” to vote for Kamala Harris.

“If a woman wants to be president… I hope she has the courage to look me in the eye and accept my full support,” said an actor sitting on the back of a pickup truck.

The stunt was widely derided online as the ‘dirtiest ad ever’. Aside from the other ads aimed at men, a large portion of Harris’ messages appear to be aimed at women.

“If you look at the Harris campaign commercials, they are overflowing with excited women,” pollster and political consultant Frank Luntz told The Post. ‘There is hardly a man to be seen. Some men have noticed this and cited it as a reason why they don’t feel welcome in the Harris campaign.”

Juan Llano, 24, says messages like this are just part of a larger war on masculinity.

“I’ve seen too much craziness from the left in recent years, and I’m tired of it,” Llano, a senior at Emory University, told The Post.

He voted for Biden in 2020, a choice he says was influenced by biased media sources and social media. But in 2024 he chooses Trump because he is concerned about promoting freedom of speech while ‘fighting wokeness’. Additionally, Elon Musk’s endorsement helped seal the deal.

“It feels like we are being attacked, demonized and even dehumanized — at least for me, and I think for other young men,” Llano said. “It feels like we’re being threatened, and we feel more comfortable voting for Trump.”
