Nalin Haley Urges GOP to Tackle Gen Z Economic Strains, Calls Congress "a Glorified Nursing Home"

He argues party leaders have ignored Gen Z’s economic pressures.

Overview

  • In a Fox & Friends appearance on Monday, the 24-year-old pressed Republicans to prioritize young voters’ concerns and labeled Congress “a glorified nursing home.”
  • He said recent graduates are struggling to find work, claimed one-third are unemployed, and described friends with strong degrees who remain jobless.
  • Haley proposed banning H‑1B visas, tightening legal immigration, redirecting housing assistance to first-time American buyers, and limiting corporate or Chinese state-linked purchases of single-family homes.
  • Responding to “nepo baby” and “spoiled brat” taunts from activists, he posted that he has received “0 help” from his parents and said his advocacy centers on his generation’s challenges.
  • Detractors, including commentators on X, criticized his approach as performative and argued he sidesteps factors such as rising tuition and restrictive housing policies.
