Well, I think the fact that not only did he vote for the CR, but he left vulnerable House Democrats. I mean, they all voted against it, except for Jared Golden up in Maine second. You have a dozen Democrats who live in Trump districts who just voted to shut down the government.
And they just voted against all the things that that means, all the funding for military and veterans and seniors and everything. And there will be a campaign commercial coming to every one of those districts in the next year, in 13 months or 15 months, saying, You know, insert Democrat here voted to shut down your government and suspend your, you know, payments to your veterans.
That is going to hurt them and it's going to be so toxic and it makes them look like they can't govern. And, you know, they say they didn't get anything out of it. They got the old Biden budget. I mean, there was like 10 billion in cuts. There was nothing really in cuts substantial. But it makes them look bad, makes them look like they can't govern. And who replaces Schumer? I don't know.
It used to be with Dick Durbin. He's 83. He's on his way out. It won't be Bernie. I mean, Elizabeth Warren is 76. It'd have to be somebody who can bring in a lot of money because that's really a big part of the job as being leaders, who can raise a lot of money. It's not even Kirsten Gillibrand. They have a big, big issue.
The best fundraiser on the Republican side is, I'm pretty sure it's Tim Scott, for sure, on the Senate side. Tim Scott's the best fundraiser. On the Democratic side, I believe it's Schumer and his PACs. Schumer and his PACs raise over $100 million a year.
AOC for sure. Corey Bush is AOC. Yeah. AOC raises a bucket loads of money. Yeah. And she usually gives it all away.
So this is the episode for a numbers game podcast that's coming out next Monday. I'm super excited. But this data comes from David Shore, who's a Democrat, a data scientist. He's brilliant. Very, very smart. His data. And he did a really deep data, not only like exit polling, but where people were voting and looking at voting files.
What happened was between 2016 and 2020, Trump lost about one to two percent of the white vote in between those two elections. He gained all that back in 2024. So there were Trump or Gary Johnson, Biden, Trump voters. There was that swing. Basically, all the people voted for Gary Johnson instead of Hillary and then voted for Biden came back to Trump.
that was uh that was worth 1.5 percent of his three-point national game half came from white people the other half came from minorities he didn't gain that much with blacks it was a small amount the biggest was black conservatives he gained about eight points over the course of the last eight years but among hispanic moderates he gained 23 points in 2016 hillary won 81 of hispanic moderates
Trump won 50, sorry, Kamala won 58% eight years later. So from 81 to 58. The other part was Asian moderates. Hillary won 78, Kamala won 67. A double digit drop among moderates in the Asian community. Is this a Trump thing? Partially, but it's part of a larger national story. In England, you see the Conservative Party doing better among minorities.
In Canada, you see the Conservatives doing better among minorities. It is a thing along the entire West where you've started seeing part of minorities, part of minority coalition vote their ideology instead of their race, which they usually vote their race over their ideology. Is it a Trump thing? That's a great question. Actually, Trump was more of a deterrent than a supplier of this.
The people who don't trust the Democratic Party is higher than the people who voted for Trump. Had everybody have forced to vote, David Shore's estimate is that Trump wouldn't have won by 1.7%, he would have won by 5%. Because when you ask on issues like everything from AI to poverty, to not only just the economy and immigration, but student loans. They trust Republicans way more than Democrats.
The only issue Democrats have a sizable advantage on an issue that people care about is health care. That is the only issue that they have over Republicans. On everything else, they have a deep, deep distrust of the Democratic Party. And I'll say one more thing. Voters who got their information from social media were much more inclined to vote for Trump.
The biggest group, the biggest demographic to vote for Trump, according to the David Shore data, white men under the age of 20, 75 percent of white men under 20 voted for Trump. That is the largest demographic of any group ever, more than seniors, more than any other racial group. Trump won a majority of voters under 20, white women, white men, and non-white men.
The only group under 20 that Trump lost to Kamala Harris were non-white women.
Do you think that's COVID? Yeah, it's... Yes, it's completely COVID. It is the lockdown generation. Lockdowns split Gen Z Zoomers in half. So older Zoomers who had already gone through the high school experience and graduated or were even past college, they are much more liberal than those who were locked down and missed graduations, games, friends.
They were getting all their news on the internet and they were coming at a time where the BLM riots were happening. that Me Too was happening, and there was a surge of internet personalities. Everyone from Jordan Peterson to Ben Shapiro to more nefarious characters on the internet.
But nonetheless, still, they were being inundated with information from social media free of the gates that the regular media provides. And so the younger generation right now is the most Republican.
18 to 20 year olds in the last election are the most Republican generation, according to the David Shore data, which I do trust, the most Republican generation since the greatest generation that fought World War II. That is how far right wing, especially white men under the age of 20, the most Republican generation we have seen probably in 60 to 70 years.
It's Ryan Seacrest here, looking for ways to feel your best in 2025. I want to share one of my biggest and best tips. When I want to feel my best, I make sure to check my gut health. That's so important. It's why I drink HealthAid Kombucha daily.
