Buyer’s Remorse: Are Young Voters Leaving MAGA?

In this episode, Leslie speaks with Carlos Calzadilla-Palacio, founder of the Disrupt political PAC, about a potential shift in the youth vote and what it could mean for upcoming elections.Carlos argues that many young voters who supported Donald Trump in 2024 are beginning to rethink that decision, pointing to broken promises on issues like student debt, the economy, and foreign policy.He explains how those policy changes are affecting young Americans in real, everyday ways—and why frustration may be turning into political movement.But as Carlos emphasizes, changing opinions isn’t enough. The real challenge is turning that energy into action at the ballot box. He outlines how Disrupt is organizing on college campuses across the country, working to register and mobilize young voters during a key midterm cycle that will take place while many students are on campus.The conversation highlights both the risks and the opportunity ahead—and why the youth vote could play a decisive role in shaping what comes next.Disrupt is a youth-led political movement dedicated to freedom, affordability, and ending corporate control.Their website is www.DisruptPAC.org.
