Young white men already supported him in 2020 and shifted slightly farther right this time. Young Latino men were about evenly split between the two candidates.

Although much of the electorate shifted right to varying degrees in 2024, young men were one of the groups that, a survey of more than 120,000 voters, while Democrat Joe Biden had won a similar share of this group four years earlier.

Young women also slightly swung toward the former president, though not to the degree of their male counterparts.
