From the transcript
Just two years ago, young people and especially young men in the United States were seen as being on an inevitable march to the right. They broke heavily for Trump in 2024 and serious conversations in the pundit class centered on how to find a liberal Joe Rogan.
Things got so bad that the New York Times published a self-help guide for liberal parents whose sons were suddenly Trump fans titled "When Your Son Goes MAGA." Very nail on the head with that one, isn't it, why?
Well, oh, how times change. Of all the swings from the GOP to the dens in the U.S. midterms, there were no group that swung harder than young men. A lot of this was entirely self-inflicted by the GOP, the candidate who promised to keep America out of foreign wars, launched one against Iran, with all the downstream effects that had.

About this briefing
Following the 2026 US midterms, young men swung dramatically towards Democrats after backing Trump in 2024. The Iran war proved decisive, alienating voters who supported Trump's anti-interventionist promises. Harvard polling revealed widespread buyer's remorse among young Trump voters. Neither party can now take this volatile demographic for granted moving forward.
