Vance says young voters ‘do not love’ Trump’s Middle East policy at Turning Point event
The Hill ^ | Apr 15, 2026 | Ryan Mancini

Posted on 04/15/2026 1:36:05 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

“I recognize that young voters do not love the policy we have in the Middle East, OK,” the vice president said. “I understand.”

Vance mapped out the administration’s successes — from Trump’s immigration agenda to economic policies — before adding,

“I’m not saying you have to agree with me on every issue. What I’m saying is don’t get disengaged because you disagree with the administration on one topic.”

“Get more involved. Make your voice heard even more,” he added. “That’s how we ultimately take the country back.”

Polling must be brutal to provoke a comment like this.

Young voters haven’t seen the damage the left has caused due to media cover up.

They have no idea of what it takes to clean them up Trump is a long range thinker and doing a great job of getting us on the right track MAGA is a way of life not just a slogan.

Looking for a wedge for division.

Some post here for the same reason.

I don’t disagree but the sooner the president can pivot out of the middle east, the better.

there was nothing wrong with his comment that was the result of anything ‘brutal’

“I’m not saying you have to agree with me on every issue. What I’m saying is don’t get disengaged because you disagree with the administration on one topic.”

1 With tens of billions spent, Americans being killed and draft musing hanging over people’s heads, it’s kind of big topic. Don’t downplay it.

2 “just keep voting for us anyway” is a garbage proposition. Your messaging sucks, do better.

It’s because young voters don’t know their history. They have to educate them.

Young voters have been brainwashed by all major institutions.

I am sure they don’t want terrorists with nukes but they have been given no information about the Iranian threat from CNN, FB, Instagram, Twitters and their friends.

When I read things like this often my first reaction is ‘a lot of us young people ...’ and then I realize that the ‘us young people’ I am thinking of are really in our 50s and 60s.

Young voters haven’t seen the damage the left has caused due to media cover up.

When Republicans control the White House and the Congress; when you've had a historically media-savvy person like Trump as President; and when you live in a time with more methods of media outreach beyond the mainstream than ever before, this excuse comes off as terribly hollow.

Young voters would not be ignorant (allegedly) of the Left's damage if we had even a tenth of the time and energy focused on domestic issues (like deportations and stopping fraud) that are currently being spent on the likes of Iran.

No, Vance is trying to show that he can relate to anything and anybody. Vance is a hug and touch sort of person.

They’re directly quoting Vance and people from the audience. Are you claiming The Hill is fabricating these quotes?

you are beyond hope if you can’t recognize a setup from the media, by now.

Gather a crowd of likeminded miscreants and n’er-do-wells and you’ll get quotes you can spin your way.

Thanks JD… there goes your chances of being president. You’ve lost my vote.

But then I’m sure you realize young people don’t like you at all, either.

“I’m not saying you have to agree with me on every issue. What I’m saying is don’t get disengaged because you disagree with the administration on one topic.”

He's right - as Reagan once said (paraphrasing), someone who disagrees with me 20% of the time isn't my enemy, he's my friend because he agrees with me 80% of the time.

Whatever Trump policies I disagree with and whatever cabinet picks I dislike, his administration is still far preferable to the alternatives who had to choose from in past elections. Similarly, I have every intention of voting for JD Vance in the GOP primaries - I hope he and not Rubio is the nominee in 2028.

Young “voters” are stupid. Most don’t even vote.

I know plenty of 18 to 25 year olds that aren’t even registered.

They don’t care.
