Among the sweeping tent of President Donald Trump\u2019s winning coalition in 2024, there\u2019s a niche that\u2019s often overlooked despite the potency of its role in the burgeoning young right: conservative women.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s these women, like Christian conservative influencer Savanna Faith Stone, who say \u201cwe’re not really identifying with the MAGA party anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPromises that were made have not been delivered on at all, and I think young women are realizing that,\u201d Stone said in an interview with POLITICO. \u201cThey’re realizing, \u2018Hey, you promised lower gas prices. You promised the economy would be better. Like, that’s why we voted for you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Stone, who turns 21 this week, is one of a flurry of influencers who flocked to San Antonio this weekend, young families in tow, to gather under a bevy of bright pink lights at Turning Point USA\u2019s Women\u2019s Leadership Summit. It\u2019s the biggest gathering of its kind<\/a> for the young female right \u2014 a space for a collective disdain for \u201cwoke\u201d culture, a love for God and kinship under the theme of \u201cfaith, family and freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n But bubbling under the surface are divisions within the GOP that have enveloped the online voices of the young right and a budding disillusionment among young women with the politics of the second Trump administration. It\u2019s all part of a growing divide between being \u201cMAGA\u201d in 2026 and being \u201cAmerica First.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump is \u201cnot America first,\u201d Stone said. She voted for a president who promised no new wars, who was pro-family and would bring down costs. \u201cIt’s harder than ever for a young couple to be able to buy a home,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Young women moved from 33 percent for Trump in 2020 to 40 percent in 2024<\/a>, while recent polling has shown the partisan gender divide<\/a> is more stark than ever. Now less than six months out from the midterms, the young female right\u2019s biggest voices are warning women could sit out the midterm elections.<\/p>\n \u201cI cannot express to you the level of alarm bells that should be ringing for the GOP,\u201d as women consider not voting, conservative influencer Alex Clark told POLITICO, adding that young women are looking at everything from the ongoing war in Iran to the persistence of pesticides<\/a> and it\u2019s breaking their trust.<\/p>\n Clark is a Turning Point darling, a 33 year-old podcaster with half a million followers who grew under the tutelage of the late Charlie Kirk. She\u2019s built a MAHA-focused health and wellness platform that she calls an \u201cunaggressive way to share conservative ideals\u201d with a loyal following. (\u201cYou\u2019re trailing my show!\u201d she recalled Kirk telling her in 2024. \u201cYeah, you better watch out!\u201d she responded.)<\/p>\n She hasn\u2019t shied away from sharing her criticism of the administration. \u201cI straight up told [the White House], \u2018People want ‘fight, fight, fight Trump.’ They don’t want ‘ballroom Trump,’\u2019\u201d Clark said. \u201cI feel like some of the magic and the spark that helped us win 2024 is missing.\u201d<\/p>\n
