The young have typically tended to vote on the left, seeing it as a vote against the status quo and the establishment, before gradually moving to the right as they got older. But things are changing. In France’s latest elections, Marine Le Pen won more youth votes than the left, while Donald Trump’s youth vote in the last US election was a third higher than in 2020.
