Sun Oct 27 23:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Trump Turns to Podcasts to Woo Young Voters, With Son’s Help
Former President Donald Trump is using podcasts to reach a younger audience as the election approaches, marking a shift from his traditional TV appearances. This strategy is being fueled by his 18-year-old son, Barron Trump, who introduced his father to the medium, specifically recommending the podcast “Impaulsive” hosted by YouTuber and wrestler Logan Paul.
Trump’s podcast appearances have seen significant viewership, with millions tuning in on YouTube alone. His interviews with streamers Adin Ross, Theo Von, and Flagrant have all drawn millions of views, as has his appearance on PBD Podcast. These figures don’t include listens across other platforms, making his podcast outreach even more extensive.
This focus on podcasts aligns with Trump’s effort to connect with young voters, often discussing topics like jobs, the economy, border security, and safety. The former president is also leveraging popular figures like UFC President Dana White and podcaster Joe Rogan to appeal to a younger demographic.
Trump’s political rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, has also embraced podcasts, having appeared on the popular “Call Her Daddy” podcast. While the effectiveness of this medium in swaying voters remains to be seen, Trump and Harris are clearly recognizing the importance of reaching younger audiences through this rapidly growing platform.
