Since 2008, winning Democratic candidates have received at least 60% support from young voters, but Harris did not meet that threshold, receiving only 54%. Her performance marked a significant shift in youth support, especially in key states where young voters felt disconnected from her economic messaging.
From the earliest focus groups I conducted this year, there was this innate sense that younger people's personal finances were better and would be better under a Trump administration, indicating a crucial disconnect in how Harris appealed to young people on economic issues.
