Conservative women influencers warn of midterm disillusionment with Trump administration at Turning Point USA summit

Turning Point USA held its Women's Leadership Summit in San Antonio, drawing conservative female influencers and young women from across the country. Several prominent attendees expressed concerns about the Republican Party's ability to retain young women voters ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Young women's support for Trump increased from 33 percent in 2020 to 40 percent in 2024, but influencers at the event warned that support could erode.

Turning Point USA's Women's Leadership Summit in San Antonio served as both a celebration of the young female right and an airing of grievances with the second Trump administration. Influencers, podcasters, and young mothers gathered under bright pink lights beneath the event's theme of "faith, family and freedom," but conversations behind the scenes centered on whether the GOP had kept its promises to the women who helped elect Trump in 2024.

Savanna Faith Stone, a 21-year-old Christian conservative influencer, told Politico that she and other young women no longer feel they identify with the MAGA party. "Promises that were made have not been delivered on at all," Stone said, citing pledges on gas prices and economic conditions. She also stated that Trump is "not America First" and noted that it is "harder than ever for a young couple to be able to buy a home."

Alex Clark, a 33-year-old podcaster with half a million followers who built a MAHA-focused health and wellness platform, warned that "alarm bells should be ringing for the GOP" as young women consider sitting out the midterms. Clark said she told the White House directly that voters want "fight, fight, fight Trump," not "ballroom Trump," describing the current moment as lacking the spark that drove the 2024 coalition.
