Why 2024 Isn’t 2016

52 million

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.”
