Bo Loudon, a 17-year-old conservative influencer, shared advice for Gen Z voters considering Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
The social media star who often posts pictures with popular Republicans like Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Barron Trump, one of his best friends, joined Fox News on Wednesday to talk about who Gen Z might vote for in November.
Speaking to Fox & Friends First, the influencer, who is currently too young to vote, touted former President Trump’s support and highlighted Harris’ past criticism of Gen Z.
“I wouldn’t put my biggest support behind someone who thinks I’m stupid, because that’s what Kamala said: ’18- to 24-year-olds are stupid,'” Loudon told the network. “Trump loves young people, Gen Z loves Trump and he has the support.”
Bo Loudon has reportedly been helping Trump with Gen Z-related matters alongside his best friend Barron Trump. The pair recently hosted a livestream between the former president and streamer Adin Ross that garnered millions of views.
The teenager was referring to a 2014 clip in which Harris, then California’s attorney general, called young adults fools.
“What else do we know about this population, 18 to 24 years old? They’re stupid,” Harris said. “That’s why we put them in dorms. And they have a live-in assistant. They make very bad decisions.”
Loudon continued: “Kamala is chasing Trump’s accomplishments like they’re a trail of cookies.”
“He wants to say no tip tax, which is great for a lot of Gen Zers… and now she says no tip tax.”
“And he wants to protect the border and keep us safe. Now she wants to protect the border.”
“But the problem is that everyone says, ‘Now that you’re vice president, that you’re in office, why don’t you do it now? I don’t know.'”
The Florida youth has reportedly been working hard to help the former president reach out to the younger generation of voters, advising him alongside Barron Trump on Gen Z priorities.
The influencer, who will turn 18 before the November election, has been doing everything he can to drum up support for the former president.
Bo and Barron also played a role in organizing an interview with popular Kickstarter streamer Adin Ross, 23, whose interview with Trump went viral in recent weeks, garnering at least 500,000 live viewers and was later watched by millions.

Loudon says an important issue for Gen Z voters this election is the economy.
‘There are a lot of statistics that show how unhappy Gen Z is with their finances, you know, with how brutal our economy is, and that’s the main thing that Trump did.’
“Trump’s economy was booming. Our economy thrived.”
“He acted like a businessman and made his business thrive as if it were one of his businesses. So, you know, with President Trump, people know that their pockets will be full and their families will be protected and their border will be secure.”
Bo, an up-and-coming conservative influencer, is the son of television personality Dr. Gina Loudon and her husband John William Loudon, a former Republican state senator from Missouri.
Bo was just nine years old when his mother took him to the 2016 Republican National Convention. He will turn 18 before the November election.
Bo’s mother is television personality Dr. Gina Loudon. Her father is former Republican Missouri State Senator John William Loudon.
His feed is filled with pro-Trump videos and photos taken with prominent conservatives like Tucker Carlson.
The Loudons live in South Florida and are well-connected members of Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Palm Beach residence, where sources say Bo and Barron often sneak away to party while the adults enjoy the functions.
Her proximity to the Trumps and frequent interaction with the MAGA creator have helped Loudon solidify her TV talking points, particularly those highlighting Harris’ record.
“She’s lying about her promises to this country,” he said Wednesday, adding: “Trump is very open.”
“We have already seen what he can do as president.”
“Kamala has been vice president. We haven’t seen any action.”
Barron, who is a friend of Ross, persuaded his father to participate in the live broadcast, Trump said.
At just 17, Bo is a rising conservative influencer who has amassed a large following on social media and has been seen hobnobbing with Republican Party figures including Don Trump Jr. and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“I think people can see Trump’s action against Kamala, and that Trump is going to generate the biggest presidential surge we’ve ever seen,” the 17-year-old continued.
In addition to the broadcast with Ross, Loudon and Barron, Trump has also pushed the Republican nominee to forge close ties with his favorite content creators, from YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul to billionaire business mogul Patrick Bet-David, host of the PBD podcast.
The former president, who joined the social media app TikTok earlier this year, has since posted several Gen Z-targeted posts featuring Jake and Logan Paul, as well as others featuring Ross and other younger stars.
