Newsweek reports:
“56 percent of first-time voters chose the Republican over the 43 percent who selected Vice President Kamala Harris. Four years ago, 64 percent of first-timers picked President Joe Biden, while Trump only attracted 32 percent.”… Among the first-time voters were 8 million from Gen Z, who narrowed the Democrats’ lead among 18 to -29-year-olds from 24 percent in 2020 to 13 percent in 2024.

Aside from the youngsters, a large number of people who never voted before registered to vote this time. Even the perennially apolitical did have an opinion this time.
Let’s never ever hear about equity and other diversities ever again – and did I say ever? – because it’s dead and buried.
Don’t forget a number of new naturalized citizens who also were first-time voters in this election. I was actually one of them.

Very true. There’s a lot of people who want to preserve the America into which they thought they were immigrating. And that makes sense.
