Why Did Gen Z Vote for Donald Trump?

Families, communities, states, and nations are stronger when individuals value life from conception until natural death. Sometimes, such individual stances win political races, and sometimes, life is protected for other reasons.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign emphasized abortion and thought that the young women of America would support her for protecting their right to choose. However, enough Gen Z women – 40 percent -- voted for Donald Trump. These young women under the age of 30 chose to vote for Trump and could have been the key to his winning the election. Sarah Holliday at The Daily Signal shared the following information. 

It seemed Harris believed the best way to reach young women was to make abortion the epicenter of her campaign. In the 100-plus days of her candidacy, she touted the claim that a Trump victory would mean all so-called “reproductive freedoms” and “rights” would be stripped away.

And while at least 13% of registered female voters listed abortion as their top issue, there were a large number of women who didn’t share this concern. According to The Daily Mail, 40% of this demographic said their No. 1 issue was the economy. Eleven percent named immigration as their biggest worry.

Outside of abortion, Harris also attempted to cater to young women by raking in celebrity endorsements. Taylor Swift, Beyoncé,, and other notable figures popular among this group announced their support for the Democratic presidential nominee….

Several experts have taken a stab at explaining the reasons why more young women voted for Trump over Harris than expected.

“There’s an assumption made about Gen Z,” psychotherapist and author Jonathan Alpert told The Daily Mail. “[M]any so-called political experts think that just because someone is in their teens to late 20s and female that means they automatically would vote for Harris.” However, he added, “At the end of the day, Gen Z cared about many things, but safety and prosperity seemed to trump other things that the Harris campaign gave way too much power to.”

Cornell University professor Sabrina Karim believes “there were high expectations going into the election about how women would vote.”

“[W]omen re not a monolithic group,” she said. “[T]heir concerns are multifaceted.”

But according to the Family Research Council’s Mary Szoch, Harris significantly missed the mark when she decided to make abortion her main connection to women.

“Kamla Harris centered her entire campaign around abortion,” she told The Washington Stand. “She told Americans that without the ‘right’ to kill their child through nine months, no one could achieve the American dream.” It was her primary topic, Szoch observed, which is why it stands out that “President Trump had a very different message.” Contrary to what Harris had to say, “He challenged Americans to recognize that we live in the greatest country on earth – and that we need to protect and defend the American dream.”

Szoch continued, “He asked people if they are living better today than they were four years ago, when he was president, and the overwhelming response was ‘No.’ Americans want more than a president who believes that the most important policies include ways to exploit children who are born and kill children who are unborn.” Rather, “Americans – including women – want a president who believes the future for all Americans, including unborn ones, is bright provided they have others willing to protect and defend them.

According to Szoch, this is at the heart of why the exit poll revealed more women than expected turned for Trump this election cycle….

The United States suffered through a four-year Civil War to end the evils of slavery. Killing innocent babies is even worse than enslaving people. I wonder what consequences this nation will suffer if we continue to allow the killing of unborn children and abuse of those who survive birth. We can strengthen our families, communities, states, and nations by fighting for life.
