Young women don’t trust Donald Trump<\/a>so his campaign has doubled down — or maybe tripled down — on reaching out to young, mostly white men.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Trump has met with right-wing creators such as Jake Paul<\/a> and Andrew Schulz<\/a> who have a lot of young male fans. He’s also latched onto issues that he thinks young men like, such as supporting cryptocurrency<\/a> and vaping<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a microcosm of his strategy more broadly: to redouble his efforts on his base<\/a>of whom men comprise the majority.<\/p>\n

Trump is either incapable or unwilling to expand his coalition.<\/p>\n

Trump is either incapable or unwilling to expand his coalition, likely because his politics (and character) are simply too off-putting.<\/p>\n

But it’s a precarious strategy considering the groups he’s targeting are already low-propensity voters — made evenmore<\/em>precarious by the fact that he’s not exactly giving them a clear reason to turn out.<\/p>\n

Trump issues a lot of unhinged warnings about a post-apocalyptic future if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the election and offers somewhat confused support for niche (and scammy) issues like crypto.<\/p>\n

But when you compare that with the very real motivator of abortion rights for young women<\/a>I’d venture to guess that Trump’s strategy has a low likelihood of success.<\/p>\n
