Gen Z's Political Powerhouse, Brilyn Hollyhand, Goes Eye-to-Eye with Trump
young voters are turning away from AOC and Sanders, finding their policies and ideologies unappealing and extreme, according to the RNC youth chair.
Scroll down to catch the raw, unfiltered scoop on Gen Z political commentator, Brilyn Hollyhand, as he spills the beans on his meeting with President Trump!
The Democratic Party, according to Hollyhand, is on a fast-track to total obliteration come 2028, thanks to their endorsement of far-left radicals like Jasmine Crockett, AOC, and Bernie Sanders. He believes that these leaders are a far cry from inspiring Gen Z and actually turning more voters their way. In a no-holds-barred interview with Digital, Hollyhand shared his blunt opinion, stating, "So, by all means, let Jasmine Crockett, AOC and Bernie Sanders be the voice, the future of the DNC. It'll make our job easier come the midterms and come 2028."
Trump & the Young Vote Strategy
At just 18 years old, Hollyhand, who is also the chair of the RNC's Youth Advisory Council, recently had a one-on-one chat with President Trump in Alabama. The pair discussed ways to keep the momentum going from the 2024 election, in which Gen Z voters swung to the right as Trump courted them through TikTok and podcasts. Hollyhand suggests a quirky tweak to former President Ronald Reagan's famous 1980 campaign question: "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" Now, Hollyhand believes, Trump should simply ask Gen Z, "Are you better off then you were 100 days ago?" And guess what the response would be? A resounding yes!
The Secret Weapon in the Midterms
In the upcoming 2026 midterms, Hollyhand believes Trump's secret weapon is his commitment to actually doing what he's elected to do—a rarity in politics, according to the young activist. While Democrats may dangle free college and cheaper living costs to attract young voters, Hollyhand argues that the connection between Gen Z and Trump is more genuine. By showcasing a list of Trump's accomplishments, Hollyhand is convinced that Democrats will struggle to campaign effectively against them.
The Democrat Party's Identity Crisis
Following a vote of confidence for Trump in 2024, the Democratic Party stand in a delicate position, trying to figure out their stance on critical issues like transgender rights, immigration, and the economy. Figures such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders have become stronger within the party, with Ocasio-Cortez hinting at a possible Senate or presidential run. Despite the left-leaning movement in the party, Hollyhand expresses confidence that the Republican Party, with Trump's steadfast leadership, will weather the storm and continue to win over young voters.
