TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo to discuss President Trump’s popularity among young voters. Kirk explained that the Democrat party is losing their base as young people are moving more to the right.
“Do you think young people are with Trump because they were the most hurt by teachers during Covid, by you know, against them? Tell us why you believe young people are standing with President Trump?” Bartiromo asked.
“That’s absolutely true,” Kirk said.
“It feels good that we have new leadership in this country,” Kirk continued.
Kirk also explained that President Trump was optimistic and encouraged young people and contrasted that with Joe Biden’s extreme negativity in regard to college commencement speeches.
“When President Trump gave a speech, it was about optimism and positivity,” Kirk said.
“When Joe Biden gave a commencement address, it was all about systemic racism and police brutality and how America has a terrible past. It was about oppression, and it was a very heavy, and sad, and negative speech,” Kirk said.
“We are seeing the base of the Democrat party evaporate. Democrats are bleeding the core constituency,” Kirk said.
“18 to 22-year-olds, these are the lockdown generation. They had prom, graduation stolen from them. They had to wear masks unnecessarily. They were forced to get vaccines. They had many friends hurt themselves or kill themselves because of the lockdowns. They do not trust the experts,” Kirk continued.

Kirk also discussed AOC and her extreme views on the environment and her desire to expand the size of the federal government.
“It looks like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to run for President with all these, this campaigning she’s been doing. Your thoughts?” Bartiromo asked.
“I think America is now fatigued by the catastrophizing of American politics. Everything that AOC believes is that we need urgent, multi trillion-dollar government action because we are gonna be overwhelmed because the oceans are gonna take down Miami Beach,” Kirk said.
“The Democrat party is constantly talking about an imminent apocalypse, and the American people are just done with that,” Kirk explained.
