With the radical left's new poster child Zohran Mamdani still leading the race for mayor in New York City, polling suggests that young voters are likely going to put him over the top.
The big question is, why are some young people so attracted to socialism?
"For a lot of people that have not seen how bad the socialism and communist pipeline gets, it can sound really appealing to have all these problems solved for you" said Hannah Beth Jones, Vice Chair of the Texas Young Republicans.
Sadly, these young people are falling for the leftist lies, with no understanding or comprehension of how socialism really works.
"Ronald Reagan said freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction" Jones told KTRH, "So, while it's certainly a battle today, it's a battle we have to fight and remind people about American exceptionalism."
Thankfully, and on a positive note, it has been just the opposite here in Texas, where the majority of young people are connecting with conservatism.
"Because they've made the switch from being liberal to being conservative, because they found out that there are really good conservative solutions to the issues that they're worried about, that they thought socialism could help solve" noted Jones, "But they're now seeing that the free market is actually the best way to have a successful life."
