The young men who helped return Donald Trump to the White House are now aware that they have made a huge mistake, according to a Harvard election expert.
John della Volpe, director of voting at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute in Harvard, told Joanna Coles on Tuesday at the episode of The Daily Beast Podcast that they “turn against him”, citing young men between the ages of 18 and 29.
“More young people are concerned that Donald Trump makes them more harm than benefit.
During the 2024 election, Trump won narrow margins in key fighters after making information about the dissatisfaction of young men, using right-wing influences and anti-desirable rhetoric to secure their votes. “I believe that the younger people were responsible for the placement of Donald Trump in their post to begin, more special, the younger men,” said Della Volpe.

He also suggested that these voters believe that they did not see a return on the promises of the campaign made by Trump with regard to the economy and other internal problems.
“The younger people quickly ask important questions like:” I thought it would improve my economic situation. What about me? “Said Della Volpe, who advised Joe Biden during his election campaign in 2020 and worked with PAC, who tried to gather support for Kamala Harris in 202.
The economy broke out wildly under Trump, and its tariffs for Liberation Day in April have noted the costs of importing the US jump, with the price starting for the consumer.
Coles said he was “amazed” that this group did not draw conclusions from Trump’s first term, from 2017 2021 Della Volpe said that the 18-24-year-old subsection of the young election group only saw the president at the beginning of the pandemic and therefore could not make a fully informed appeal to his abilities.
“People in their shorter twenty -early thirty, who have this Trump 1 memory, are more likely to support the Democrats, right? And so what they are worried about is honestly the same thing we are all concerned about,” added Volpe.
“This is a request for, demanding, some stability in their lives, more specially related to the economy and finance. Indeed, everything is about it. But I think the younger people, you just know, they have a different lens.”

The younger men were specifically attracted to Trump’s Macho, the Della Volpe later added. “They were looking for Donald Trump as a person who did not defend the institutions, but someone who could use their power to advocate for people who were economically alarmed,” he explained.
“It was really about the power of his person, in my opinion, different from some specific policies. It was attractive specifically about the younger men.”
But after six turbulent months in the hot seat, young people are “obviously dissatisfied,” the poll added. “His approval ratings among the younger people are in the 30s,” he said.
A report from the Delle Volpe team at the end of April found that more than four out of 10 young Americans under the age of 30 say they “hardly do” financially. Less than one-third approved by President Trump.
Trump’s popularity during the 2024 election campaign has grown among young Latin American men. Harvard’s poll found that 52 percent of young Spaniards are still “struggling to connect the edges or to deal with limited financial security” significantly higher than their white (38 percent) or black (45 percent) peers.
