Why 2024 Won’t Be a Repeat of 2016

Celinda Lake and Mac Heller: “Every year, about 4 million Americans turn 18 and gain the right to vote. In the eight years between the 2016 and 2024 elections, that’s 32 million new eligible voters.”

“Also every year, 2½ million older Americans die. So in the same eight years, that’s as many as 20 million fewer older voters.”

“Which means that between Trump’s election in 2016 and the 2024 election, the number of Gen Z (born in the late 1990s and early 2010s) voters will have advanced by a net 52 million against older people. That’s about 20 percent of the total 2020 eligible electorate of 258 million Americans.”

“And unlike previous generations, Gen Z votes.”
