In the aftermath of the 2024 elections, the Democratic Party faced a serious challenge with diminishing support from young voters. Kamala Harris managed to win this demographic, but her margins were the lowest for a Democratic candidate in twenty years, highlighting a significant shift towards the Republican Party. This marked a critical moment, as the decline in youth turnout and increased GOP support among young voters could have been pivotal in both the presidential and congressional races, altering the narrative that Democrats hold the future of the electorate.
