The Young Republican National Federation, Inc., better known simply as the Young Republicans, is an organization for members of the Republican Party between the ages of 18 and 40, with chapters across the United States. Officially founded in 1931 by George H. Olmstead at the insistence of President Herbert Hoover, Young Republican groups had existed since 1856, and the Young Republicans remain an important group of conservative activists in the USA. In October 2025, leaked Telegram group chats revealed that several high-ranking Young Republicans had routinely utilized racist and anti-Semitic slurs, shared white supremacist slogans and symbols, and praised Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust.
