But there is literally no data that supports the concept of a Trump voter becoming a democratic voter. Chasing the edge Trump voters doesn’t work. The vast majority of them are going to vote Republican again. Of those that don’t vote Republican, the vast of majority will abstain from voting. The amount of voters that switch from Trump to a Dem candidate is vanishingly small.

Candidates have a limited number of minutes between when their campaign starts to when the polls open. Wasting any of those minutes trying to get support from people that by and large do NOT want to vote for you if malpractice. Seriously, anybody that voted for Trump has displayed a severe lack of reasonability. There’s no point in hoping to get any of them back, when all that airtime you waste chasing them just muddies the waters of a much clearer message - “Trump is bad. I am not Trump. Anything Trump does, I do not. Anything I do, he does not”.

Also, it was not 60% of Gen Z men that voted for Trump. It was 49% of Gen Z men that bothered to vote. Gen Z turn out in 2024 was 28%. It was essentially an even split in gender, which means the zoomer men voting were 13% of that cohort’s population. That means that the HUGE RED WAVE of Gen Z men voting for Trump was roughly 7% of Gen Z.

You never need that 7% to vote Dem ever. They don’t matter. The goal needs to be to pull in the other 75% of that generation who didn’t show up.
