Boomers only slightly favored Trump in 2024.

Young voters (Gen Z) went Harris by 10 points.

People in the first ~1/2 of middle age (Millennials) slightly favored Harris.

It was the second ~1/2 of middle age (Gen X) that were pro Trump, by 6 points.

Boomers had the best turnout. 31% of eligible voters but 40% of actual voters. Gen X was 28% of eligible voters and 26% of actual voters. Millennials were also 28% of eligible voters and were 25% of actual voters. Gen Z was 13% of eligible voters but only 9% of actual voters.

A group "slightly" favoring Harris, thanks to the electoral college, is a group that favors Trump :P

Also, gen z favored Haris by ONLY 10 points ? As in 55/45 ? Isn't the stat usually more on the order of 60/40 (if not 65/35) for this age group ?

But also due to the electoral college a small change in turnout in swing states can have a large effect. None of the swing states had higher than average Boomer concentration. Pennsylvania is right about average, and the rest were all lower.

Gen Z went for Biden by 24 points, but the shifted right for 2024 so only went for Harris by 10.

Millennials were similar, going for Biden by 19.

Gen X favored Trump in 2020 by about about 6% and in 2024 by about 8%.

Only Boomers have moved left. They favored Trump by 8% over Clinton, about 5% over Biden, but then only 1-2% over Harris.

> Gen Z went for Biden by 24 points, but the shifted right for 2024 so only went for Harris by 10.

Kinda confirms my point, no ? Sure, not a "majority" of Gen Z went for Trump. But such a shift has to mean _something_ was done wrong.

That being said, I once again got my timing wrong - most of the restrictions of covid happened before Biden was elected, so it would not really make sense for them to blame it on Biden.

I suppose inflation was enough for them...
