Swing voters who were key for Trump in 2024 have mixed reviews so far

Ray, a New York voter in his mid-30s, backed Donald Trump last year after having voted for Joe Biden in 2020, pointing to Trump’s pledges to boost the economy.

Ray, a New York voter in his mid-30s, backed Donald Trump last year after having voted for Joe Biden in 2020, pointing to Trump’s pledges to boost the economy. Now, he is not happy with the results on all of those pledges.

“President Trump has made a lot of promises that he’s not really cashing out,” Ray said.

But Scott, a 29-year-old Missourian who also flipped from Biden in 2020 to Trump in 2024, said he's “happy” with Trump’s presidency so far.

“In general, he’s keeping his promises,” Scott said.

The two men's opposing views of Trump’s presidency underscore the wide range of opinions among swing voters who helped return Trump to the White House — and who may hold the key to the results of future elections, too.
