Weren't the statistics from the last election a big deal because Gen Z actually didn't align with Millennials?

I'm pretty sure I saw people getting mad at the number of young voters who opted to vote for Trump

Could be wrong though

No, they're just less left leaning than Millennials were at that age. 66% of Millennials voted for Obama, whereas only 54% of Gen Z voted for Harris.

Is it that they're less left leaning? Cause when you put the names of the candidates there (Obama vs Harris), it just sounds like a weaker candidate that didn't move their base as much.

That's how most of the electorate approaches political analysis unfortunately: the parties supply their politics.
