Political groups and candidates are targeting young voters, who are motivated by specific policies like abortion.

Summary

Gen Z posted greater voter turnout in 2022 compared to previous generations in midterm elections. As the 2024 election approaches, campaigning continues to be directed at this generation — including outreach led by Gen Z voters themselves.

Gen Z voters are more motivated to participate in elections due to specific policy issues, particularly reproductive rights. Political groups and candidates are implementing new strategies to engage this generation, including peer-to-peer organizing and authentic messaging.

Vice President Harris has been praised for her relatable social media presence, while former President Trump has appeared on popular male-dominated podcasts.

    Cool, but I am not convinced that CIS Gen-Z men aren’t mobilized to vote for Trump.

      Neither am I, but I am convinced cis-Gen-Z-men aren’t actually going to show up to fucking stand in line to vote after their 12 hour overnight shift at a steel mill.

      These young guys are not a reliable voting bloc.
