Young voters are one of many groups that pushed Trump back into the White House in 2024. Some researchers saw this as a potentially massive realignment with game-changing implications for our politics — but one year into Trump's second term, it doesn't seem like it. Trump is 34 points underwater according to the Cook Political Report's poll aggregator. And those polls were taken before Trump launched a war with Iran, a decision most young people oppose. So what should Democrats do to reach young voters where they're at? To find out, we spoke to Florida Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost. He's the first Gen Z member elected to Congress. And in headlines, Trump reveals Iran's so-called gift to the U.S, Cuba is struggling amidst the U.S. oil blockade, and you can make your voice heard at a No Kings event this weekend.

  • It's Friday, March 27th.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is What a Day, the show that finds it inspiring that President Donald Trump will be the first president

  • to put his signature on U.S. Currency in more than 160 years.

  • We've had some self-absorbed presidents since 1861.

  • I'm looking at you, Warren Harding.

  • But Trump, as usual, is reaching new heights.

  • On today's show, Trump reveals Iran's so-called gift to the U.S.

  • He also said he got $5 under his pillow from the tooth fairy.

  • And if Trump has you feeling some type of way, now is a chance to have your voice heard at a No Kings event tomorrow.

  • But let's start with young people, a category of Americans which, sadly, no longer includes me.

  • Young voters are one of many groups that pushed Trump back into the White House in 2024.

  • Some researchers saw this as a potentially massive realignment with game-changing implications for our politics.

  • Were young people traditionally a liberal cohort moving to the right for real?

  • A year and change later, I think we can safely say.

  • Nah.

  • Trump's polls are in the basement with pretty much everyone.

  • But with young voters, Trump is 34 points underwater, according to the Cook Political Report's poll aggregator.

  • And those polls were taken before Trump launched a war with Iran, a war most young people oppose.

  • It 's no wonder that one fresh-faced attendee of the Conservative Political Action Conference,

  • also known as CPAC, was n't feeling so great about the GOP's chances in November.
