Evita Duffy-Alfonso, the daughter of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, argued Wednesday during an appearance on Real America’s Voice that unmarried women tend to “vote very, very poorly” — without “the security of a male.”

Duffy-Alfonso appeared on “Human Events with Jack Posobiec” to discuss rumors of a U.S. military draft, after the Army raised its maximum enlistment age from 35 to 42 amid President Donald Trump’s war on Iran, and his plummeting support among Gen Z voters.

When asked why young men and women are “turning the other way,” Duffy-Alfonso argued that these aren’t the demographics Trump needs to worry about — and that the supposed concern is married men, unmarried men and married women versus unmarried women, in particular.

“And if you think about it, it actually makes perfect sense, just intuitively,” the 26-year-old conservative commentator told Posobiec. “If you’re an unmarried woman, what are you looking for in your life most of all? What is missing? It’s the security of a male.”

She continued, “And so young women and unmarried women, especially, are saying, looking at the Democratic Party, which is entirely based off of offering free things and social programs, and they say, ‘That’s my party. That’s what I want to go towards.’”

Duffy-Alfonso concluded, “And so they vote very, very poorly.”

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told Newsweek last week that the “ultimate poll” was the 2024 election, and while young voters were integral in returning Trump to office, an actual poll published earlier this month shows that their views have begun to change.

A YouGov/Economic survey conducted between March 6 and March 9 showed that 55% of 1,563 polled U.S. adults disapproved of Trump’s job performance. Among those polled who were between the ages of 18 to 29, however, only 32% approved of his work.

Duffy-Alfonso noted young people are growing even more critical of Trump amid his ongoing war, but argued that this isn’t because of the unnecessary human cost or the potentially global ramifications of Trump’s escalating conflict — but because of vocal concern from Democrats.

“There’s a narrative that this is going to be a 20-year ‘forever war,’” she said. “And there’s also a narrative that President Trump is going to be bring back the draft. I don’t think [White House press secretary] Karoline Leavitt said that, Democrats have spun her words to mean that.”

Duffy-Alfonso added, “And so that is deeply troubling if you’re a 22-year-old, 23-year-old man getting ready to go to the polls. ‘Oh, if I vote for a Republican, I’m voting to go to war overseas.’ And the White House hasn’t done enough to actually correct the record on that.”

A New York Times analysis published on March 10 showed only 41% of Americans supported launching the war, making it the most unpopular U.S war since 1941 — as every other full-scale war since then had been backed by the majority of Americans beforehand.
