Young voters stand out in TLDR News Global's answer to the question behind its new explainer: "Which Voter Groups Swung Hardest Against Trump?" In the exit polling presented by host Ben Blissett, voters aged 18 to 29 favoured Democrats by a striking 47 points.
The video has drawn roughly 604,000 views since yesterday. After the channel's seat-by-seat results breakdown, which we reported here, this follow-up moves from where Republicans lost to the make-up of the electorate that delivered those losses.
"Basically everyone shifted against the GOP this election," Blissett says. But his breakdown shows important differences within that broad movement. Younger voters moved more strongly towards Democrats, while older age groups showed smaller shifts or leaned slightly Republican. Lower-income voters also feature prominently in the Democratic gains.
The ethnicity section identifies substantial movement towards Democrats among Asian and Latino voters, alongside a rebound in support among Black men. These are comparisons with the 2024 election, rather than simply a description of which groups voted Democratic this time.
Texas gives the analysis its longer-term question. Blissett argues that the changing Latino vote complicates Republican prospects there. The episode's distinctive contribution is that demographic view of the result: beyond the newly blue seats, it examines which parts of the electorate helped change their colour.
