Expert: Generation Z Voting Power Is Underrated And Their Disdain For Trump Could Sink The HOP in 2022
Voters under 30 shattered previous turnout numbers for their age group in the 2018 and 2020 elections. That overlooked reality bodes well for Democrats in the 2022 election -- but only if the party makes it a priority to connect with young voters and doesn't take them for granted..
..
Volpe pointed out a seldom-noted fact: that voters in the 18-to-29 age group turned out in the 2018 midterm elections in numbers that doubled the previous cycle. He credits young voters with having netted a game-changing 10 Congressional seats and 2% of the overall vote in that election.
...
Q. This is a recent development, isn't it?
A. Yes. From 1986 to 2014, you'll find that the percentage of young people voting was pretty consistent, with the average turnout of 18-to-29 years old's right around 15%. Then it went up to around 18% and then it doubled in the 2018 midterms..
...
We can hope the horrors of Trump. Abbott, DeSantis and others energize younger voters in big swing states.
