he got less than 44% of the male Gen Z vote, which was a shift, but was the highest among the categories. It's not like Democrats "lost" the youth vote, they lost about 10% of it. Enough to make a difference, perhaps, except that their turnout was the lowest of all other age groups and demographics.

So there's a lot of spin in the reporting.
