Trump feels the pulse of Generation Z with the help of his son Barron, who tells him about the hottest trends

Former President Trump is using his son Barron’s influence to win over Generation Z as all eyes are on the youth vote.

“[He’s influenced me] a little bit,” he told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, responding to questions about how to do more Gen Z podcasts and engage with younger voters and “hot,” trending pop culture figures.

“He tells me about all the ‘hot’ guys, people I’ve never heard of [for podcasts]…but Don [Jr.] knows a lot about it and Eric knows a lot about it. Tiffany knows a lot. Ivanka knows a lot,” he continued.

Accordingly Research organization CIRCLE At Tufts University, 41 million Zoomers – members of the Generation Z age group – will be eligible to vote in 2024, meaning 8 million will have “grown into the electorate” when voters go to the polls in November.

It’s no secret that youth voting is more important now than ever.

Some conservative Zoomers say Trump has gained ground in the race to win over the youngest bloc of voters through his election Ohio Senator JD Vance — the first millennial to be added to a presidential nomination — especially as age issues became a key issue during the election cycle.

With former first lady Melania Trump revealing her pro-choice position in a recently published memoir and Harris Lt. Gov. Tim Walz accusing Trump of advocating for a nationwide abortion ban, Bartiromo urged the former president to clarify his own stance.

“I think that’s something that’s off the table now because I did something that everyone wanted to do. I was able to give it back to the states,” he said.

“Every legal scholar for 52 years – they fought. This problem has torn our country apart. They have been fighting for 52 years. Every legal scholar said it shouldn’t be in the federal government’s hands. It should be in the federal states and a popular vote. Let the people vote, and I was able to do that thanks to six very brave and very smart people [Supreme Court justices] – but they were brave in a way.”

Like many Republicans, Trump reiterated the importance of exceptions to abortion: rape, incest and the life of the mother, culminating his response by noting that the issue was “largely diffuse.”
