Trump Campaigns at Arizona State University, Appeals to Young Voters
As Arizona’s Election Day approaches, former President Donald Trump’s campaign made a significant push for support in the battleground state. Hundreds gathered at Arizona State University’s Mullett Arena to hear Trump’s plans for the border state, with many attendees sporting “Frats for Trump” T-shirts, as the campaign attempts to engage younger voters.
Recent events, often dubbed “Greeks for Trump” or “Frats for Trump,” have targeted conservative college students. Notably, Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake and Charlie Kirk, president of Turning Point USA, visited ASU to encourage student voter registration. Although this demographic tends to lean liberal, this effort could impact Arizona’s tight race where presidential candidates are neck and neck.
Trump’s rally also drew first-time political rally attendees like Dylan Drake and Ernie Nallapati, both 23, who were eager to hear about Trump’s border policy, a crucial issue for Arizona voters.
In contrast, dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters from ASU Students for Justice in Palestine demonstrated against Trump’s visit. Sophie Levitt, co-chair of the group, criticized ASU’s decision to host Trump, citing the university’s decision to cancel an event featuring U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib in 2023.
Despite the protest, several pro-Palestinian leaders expressed support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. However, not all pro-Palestinian advocates echoed this sentiment, with some criticizing the current administration’s handling of the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
