Young men's economic prospects are shifting, along with their politics
Young men, seen as a solidly Democratic group less than two decades ago, have been shifting further to the right politically as their economic outlook has been on a downward trajectory.
For David Tasker, an 18-year-old construction worker in Pennsylvania, his top financial priorities are having enough money for gas, dining out and spending on his girlfriend while living at home with his parents.
But he worries about the rising prices he’s seen during his teen years as he’s emerged into an economy experiencing decades-high inflation. For his first election, he said he will be voting for former President Donald Trump with those higher costs and concerns about the wider economy in mind.
“Trump can run America like a business and Kamala would run it as a classroom,” Tasker said. “Trump would care about how Americans can get the most money, how we can care for the most people, and keep America first.”

I suspect they've had enough of the Uniparty's globalism and mass immigration policies forcing them out of the labor force or driving their wages down.
Add to that the cost of gasoline and food, and it is no wonder why men are rejecting the Democrats in favor of Trump.
