President-elect Donald Trump claimed Monday during his first press conference since the November election that he won young voters by 34 points, despite election data telling a different story.
"I won youth by 34 points and there are those that say that TikTok has something to do with that," Trump said.
President-elect Trump on TikTok ban: "We'll take a look at TikTok.
I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok because I won youth by 34 points."
According to analysis from AP VoteCast, Vice President Kamala Harris won the youth vote, capturing around 51% of voters aged 18 to 29.
While Trump's performance among young voters improved from 2020, his claim of a 34-point lead is not supported by any credible data.
Trump also credited his son, Barron Trump, for recommending media appearances like a three-hour interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, which he claimed also boosted his appeal to young voters. »
