What do President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani<\/a> have in common? Not much, except this: young adults love them.<\/p>\n

In fact, both men owe their electoral victories in part to Gen Z<\/a>, my generation. Seventy-eight percent of voters ages 18 to 29 turned out for Mamdani on Nov. 4, according to one breakdown, including 67% of young men and 84% of young women.<\/p>\n

Just a year earlier, many in this same demographic were heading to the polls<\/a> to cast their votes for Trump. The president won 46% of Gen Zers last year, including 56% of young men and 40% of young women, significantly improving his standing among this group compared to 2020 and 2016.<\/p>\n

If this wild swing from right to left has given you whiplash, I don\u2019t blame you. But there is some method to the madness.<\/p>\n

What drew young adults to Mamdani is the same thing that drew them to Trump: his promise to be different, to radically upend a system that Gen Zers believe has failed and disenfranchised them.<\/p>\n

It is not a coincidence, for example, that Trump\u2019s approval among young adults<\/a> was highest in February and March of this year when he began aggressively rolling out his agenda. Of course, some of that can be attributed to the honeymoon effect that every president enjoys at the start of his term. But the policies themselves earned Gen Z\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n

Take the Department of Government Efficiency, for instance: nearly three in four college-age Americans said they supported Trump\u2019s efforts to slash waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government. Older voters might have found DOGE\u2019s cuts jarring, but for young adults it felt like the first time something was actually getting done.<\/p>\n

Mamdani\u2019s proposals<\/a> obviously are radically different from Trump\u2019s. Instead of gutting government to make it more responsive, Mamdani wants to increase its size and scope in just about every respect. Indeed, during his victory speech on Tuesday, Mamdani insisted he\u2019ll prove there\u2019s no problem “too small” for his government to solve.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a terrifying thought to those familiar with political reality and history. But to young adults my age who too often are unacquainted with either, Mamdani\u2019s pledge sounds like a genuine attempt to make New York City\u2019s government<\/a> work for them rather than against them \u2014 with some free stuff thrown in along the way.<\/p>\n

This point is key. Young adults feel as though they have no place in our government and economy, and they are desperate for a way in. Older Americans might dismiss Gen Z\u2019s concerns as a rite of passage, but the fact is the American dream they watched their parents and grandparents achieve feels completely unattainable now.<\/p>\n

Unlike older generations, for example, many young adults are saddled with crippling student loan debt from chasing degrees that no longer provide the cushy white-collar careers they were promised. And on Nov. 4, a new report found that the median age of a first-time homebuyer in the U.S.<\/a> is now 40 years old \u2014 an all-time high.<\/p>\n

This is why Gen Zers were the most optimistic about Trump\u2019s plan to bring down the cost of housing<\/a>, but also why they\u2019re wooed by Mamdani\u2019s inane promise to freeze rent across the Big Apple. Anything \u2014 anything \u2014 is better than the current trajectory.<\/p>\n

It also helps that both Mamdani and Trump made a deliberate effort to connect with young adults where they\u2019re at: social media<\/a>. Call it TikTok populism, but Gen Zers are simply much more likely to be persuaded by the candidate who understands how to communicate with them. Trump did this by barnstorming the independent podcast scene, and Mamdani did it with catchy reels and influencer endorsements.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, my generation is motivated less by policy specifics and more by a broad agenda that promises to dismantle the status quo. Maybe that makes Gen Z young and dumb, but you\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find a young voter who cares. We\u2019re not interested in preserving an establishment we have no stake in, nor are we willing to settle for the managed decline that keeps older generations comfortable but sacrifices our chance at a prosperous future.<\/p>\n

If Republicans want<\/a> to keep building on the inroads Trump made with Gen Z, they need to recognize this and make good on Trump\u2019s promise to upend the way Washington works. What Gen Z wants is change \u2014 and fast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
