Social-media platforms are flooded with videos of young people celebrating Donald Trump’s presidential victory at college campuses across the country, showing the broad support the Republican candidate enjoyed among Gen Zers, despite Kamala Harris’ efforts to get first-time voters on her side.

A student shared a clip on TikTok of students rushing into the streets on the Grand Canyon University campus in Phoenix, Arizona, “after hearing Trump won.” Hundreds of young people can be seen running toward a green space on campus and chanting “USA! USA! USA!”

Exit poll data by CNN showed that 54 percent of voters aged between 18 and 29 (which include Gen Zers and younger millennials) voted for Harris, while 43 percent voted for Trump.

Compared to 2020, this is a huge swing of 13 points toward Trump. Four years ago, 60 percent of those aged 18 to 29 voted for Joe Biden, and only 36 percent cast their ballot for Trump.

Within this same age group, 49 percent of men has backed Trump, compared to 37 percent of women who have done the same, a sign of the gender divide that has come to characterize American politics.
