Young Voters Made the Difference for Democrats

November 23, 2022 · 2:08 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Young people turned out in droves during the 2022 midterm elections — but not for Republicans,” USA Today reports.

“Young voters had the second-highest level of youth participation in at least 30 years… Some 63% of young voters cast ballots for Democrats in House races, with young voters of color voting blue at even greater rates.”

“And in key Senate races like Nevada and Georgia, youth voters narrowed margins and decided outcomes, dramatically swinging in favor of Democratic candidates.”
