Summary
Young voters swung hard toward Trump in 2024. Now, many of them are swinging back against them. Two Turning Point chapter leaders, Brady Salmon and Dino Fantegrossi, discuss why "doomerism" is on the rise with Gen Z, what can win them back, and why they get so fired up about issues like Israel. Rep. Byron Donalds joins the show to discuss his run for governor of Florida and why he supports Ron DeSantis's push to get rid of property taxes on individual homes.
