In a speech to American generals, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth criticized “dudes in dresses,” “climate change worship,” and “fat” soldiers, sparking widespread criticism.

Recent survey data indicates a significant decline in former President Donald Trump’s approval rating among young people aged 18-29, with a 35 percentage point drop since November 2024. This shift potentially reverses the trend observed in the 2024 election, where Trump saw increased support among younger voters, particularly Hispanic voters, due to policies like tariffs and immigration. While some polls show a contrasting improvement, the overall trend suggests that Republicans may struggle to maintain their gains if this decline persists, potentially impacting the 2026 midterm elections. The decline is likely due to the rising cost of living, cultural issues, and perceived self-interest.
