I'm a reporter from the New York Times.
2
Can I talk to you? About? About? About politics.
3
I personally like to keep that personal business to myself.
4
I don't share my political views.
5
You guys are basically not — don't want to talk about your political views.
6
I'm understanding that correctly.
7
Yeah.
8
Pretty much, yes.
9
I'm in Michigan, a crucial state for control of Congress in the upcoming midterms.

12
You'll pass.
13
Two years ago, they swung hard for Donald Trump.
14
That was a surprise, because that age group used to lean left.

Do you lean more
16
Republican or Democrat?
17
Republican.
18
Probably more Republican.
19
But now, polls say that young voters are the most likely to be upset about the economy and the war in Iran.

I think I voted Trump.

I would take that back.
22
So I wanted to know, where were their heads now?
23
Were young men the future of MAGA?
24
Or were they the new swing voters?

What a way to get into it.
27
Yes.

Uh, yeah.
33
I voted for Trump.
34

that a lot of the stuff was going to change for the better.
37
How did you feel about the Democratic Party back then?
38
I felt excluded.

As a white man and a young man at that, But the message I kind of received is there's no place for you.
40
Where's your head at now with President Trump?
41
We're in a several -month conflict with Iran now that is raising gas prices.

We have U .S servicemen who I believe are kind of needlessly dying in this conflict.

Those kind of broken promises are going to stick in the mind of a lot of voters.
44

48
That's where Michigan State University is, and tens of thousands of potential young voters.
49
You voted for President Trump in 2024.
50
Yep.
51
How are you seeing
52
President Trump now?
53

58

59
Nowadays, speaking out against this, people just say you're anti -Semitic, and it's silly.
60
It's a strong view that I heard over and over from young people upset with U .S support for Israel.
61
And it's pushed
62
Nash toward Democrats.
63
What about this election, this coming up in November?
64
Go Abdul.
65
I stand by that.
66
That's Abdul El -Sayed, the progressive
67
Democrat who's running for Senate here.
68
What do you like about Abdul?
69
I've heard him talk and agreed on things he's said just about, like, making, you know, government more for people instead of,
70
you know, the elite and stuff like that.
71
Nash's swing from voting for Trump to a progressive might seem like whiplash.

73
Democratic candidates over Republican ones.

76
He's too far left for Michigan.

You know, he's a Muslim.
78
Who cares if he's a Muslim, realistically?

I mean, if he stands on good things and you like the things he says,
80
then you should vote for him and not worry about his name.

82
He was carrying trim for his baby daughter's room.

Nearly 90 % of young people disapprove of Trump's handling of the cost of living.

That's the highest level of any age group.

Jordan voted for Trump in 2024.

I think you see this socialist movement because of how poorly thought of Trump is now.
89
And I don't know what to think of that.
90
Trump, of course, is not on a ballot.
91
But the midterms, in many ways, will be a referendum on his presidency.
92
Jordan is swinging away from Trump.
93
But to what is an open question.

Yeah, probably.
96

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
