From Fox News: The Democratic Party will be the “Titanic at the bottom of the ocean” come 2028, according to Gen Z political commentator Brilyn Hollyhand, who is on a mission to continue building conservative support among the youth vote following President Donald Trump’s strides with the demographic in 2024.

“They’ve actually put up figures like Jasmine Crockett and AOC and Bernie Sanders as their leaders. None of those people are inspiring Gen Z. None of those people are bringing more voters into the party. It’s just making this weird, radical wing of the party be the vocal voices. So, by all means, let Jasmine Crockett, AOC and Bernie Sanders be the voice, the future of the DNC. It’ll make our job easier come the midterms and come 2028,” Hollyhand told Fox News Digital in an exclusive Zoom interview this week.

“It’s a really weird position that they’ve taken to go more radical than Kamala Harris. And that’s why Kamala lost, because she was too radical,” he said.

Hollyhand, 18, is a political commentator and chair of the RNC’s Youth Advisory Council who was invited to meet one-on-one with Trump in Alabama on Thursday, when the president delivered the University of Alabama’s commencement speech. Hollyhand said that he and Trump discussed how to keep momentum among young voters following the 2024 election, when Gen Z voters swung to the right as Trump courted young people on TikTok and in podcasts. The youth vote, he explained, had long been in the Democrat Party’s court before Trump upped the ante on youth outreach during last year’s election cycle.

The rising star conservative activist will graduate from high school later this month.

Hollyhand got to meet with President Trump backstage Thursday night, ahead of Trump’s commencement speech at the University of Alabama.
