The article discusses how young couples Trever Keller and Rhiannon Costanzo navigate their differing political beliefs in their relationship amid a politically divisive climate. Keller voted for Kamala Harris based on her abortion policies, while Costanzo supported Trump, viewing Harris as too extreme. Despite their differences, they maintain a respectful dialogue about politics. However, the article highlights that among younger generations, particularly Gen Z and young millennials, there is a notable preference for partners with similar political views, contrasting with older generations where this issue matters less.
According to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll, a majority of Americans under 45 say it's important to date or marry someone who shares their political views.
Keller and Costanzo are more than just politically opposed college students: they've been in a relationship for a year, acknowledging respectful discussions about politics.
