What are the issues that attracted them to Trump?
Have a Gen Z DD and I honestly don't know if she voted for Trump, but here's the thing...it's not "one issue" and it's not that they were attracted to "Trump" the person. The DNC continues with denial denial denial. Below are my GenZ DD's views:
Perhaps not 100% stop but definitely reduce military spending (billions!) to Israel and other countries without accountability. Fix the many issues in the US first - put American citizens first.
Stop with the cultural/identity wars. She respects LGBTQ+ but seriously....rewriting/redoing movies and changing characters is getting ridiculous - if you want to be so inclusive create new stories, create new princesses. Don't go back and change things. Also she agreed that the whole gender identity education in schools is going too far and does not at all belong in elementary schools.
Not sure how she feels about deportation, but she does see schools overpopulated and resources stretched.
She does see the increase in crime, first hand! You know...the shoplifting/theft crimes that are not reported at all and therefore don't count in the statistics when DNC says crime is down, how convenient.

Nor have I and I’m 52.
Most women really aren’t as easily triggered as those who claim to speak for us are.

Aheits can be dumb and racist too.
With all the minorities who voted for Trump it’s really time to find a new insult.
Racism and sexism are baked into our cultural DNA. It takes deprogramming. Which takes a lot of practice and the will to learn about how it creeps up, even if we’re well intentioned - toward ourselves and others.

This group should have been a lock-in for Harris. What is the explanation for why such a large percentage of young women voted for Trump?

Gaza was a huge thing.
