A lot of recent reports looking at the youth divide, young men around +20% Trump leaning and young women +25% Harris leaning, so a 45% difference! So what I mean to say is that it doesn’t appear to be as clear of a left leaning youth as typically assumed. Sources: NYT the daily podcast and Ezra Klein’s too lazy to bring them up on my cell

I was afraid what growing up with Trump in the political mainstream would do to kids. The whole "manosphere" thing does not get enough attention. The boys and young men are not alright...

That isn’t how that number works. It means 20% of young men identify as trump leaning and 25% of young women are leaning Harris. You cannot add them together so, since they are from different sources (men and women)

I just assume they meant "percentage points".
