Amidst concerns over climate change and economic issues, young voter turnout has slumped with a noticeable split in support between the parties, contributing to significant challenges for Democrats. While many anticipated a win for Kamala Harris, her failure to connect with Gen Z voters resulted in a surprising favor for Donald Trump.

This election has ignited discussions among young voters about their futures and the political strategies that need to adapt to this shifting landscape.
