Experts say reasons could range from fewer young people turning out to vote to changes in ideology.In November 2024, when President Donald Trump won 38.
In 2020, 53.5% of Orange County voters chose Biden compared to 44.4% who chose Trump. That margin shrunk in 2024 when 49.7% of voters chose Harris compared to 47.1% who chose Trump. The county also saw 129,173 fewer votes overall in 2024 than in 2020, approximately an 8.35% decrease in turnout rate. Party votes varied among various racial and ethnic groups of young voters as well, according to the Tufts University research organization’s. Trump appeared to win among young, white voters while Harris won among Black, Latino and Asian young voters. Yet the CNN exit poll still showed 46% of Latino respondents voted for Trump in 2024, a 14 percentage point increase from 2020.
Ethan Petty, a 26-year-old man living in Bakersfield — located in a county that also saw a rightward shift — expressed his support for Harris. He noted that while he did not feel strong excitement for Harris as a candidate, he found her to be favorable to Trump, noting worries about abortion and LGBTQ+ rights under a Trump administration.
