Young Republicans Angrily Turn on Trump

The young men who powered Trump’s 2024 election victory are turning on him, according to the head of an organization built on speaking to younger voters.

Charlie Sabgir, director of the Young Men Research Project, a nonprofit tracking political and social trends among young men, spent time speaking to young Trump supporters across the country and found a consistent theme. His respondents complain that the president is abandoning the “America First” agenda that drew them to him in the first place.

Sabgir wrote up his findings for The Atlantic, asserting that the Iran war is the sharpest grievance among the important voter bloc. Riley Wilson, a member of the Turning Point USA chapter at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, told Sabgir he cast his first presidential vote for Trump in part because the president had promised “no new wars.”
