ABC News' exit polling shows that younger voters' shift toward Democrats was just one of multiple notable turnout changes: Independents also narrowly favored them over Republicans.
In the week since the surprising midterm results, much attention has focused on the why -- and the who.
Youth leaders of Voters of Tomorrow huddle in their"war room" in Washington, D.C., ahead of the midterms.According to the exit polling, 18-to 29-year-olds accounted for 12% of voters in the midterms -- the lowest share of the electorate compared to other age groups -- but they skewed firmly for Democratic candidates, a trend that has only grown more pronounced in recent years.
Youth voting organizers emphasized that in their view, this cycle was remarkable because of its number of young leaders, including the first Gen Z elected member of Congress, incomingof Florida -- who mobilized peers to cast ballots for "pro-democracy" candidates who stood for top-of-mind issues like abortion access, a robust economy and personal freedoms, an assessment that largely echoes national and state-level issue and exit polling by ABC News.
Conservatives, too, have talked about the effect that Gen Z voters had on the Democratic-leaning outcome of a number of races. Karoline Leavitt, a 25-year-old Republican candidate from New Hampshire, tweeted after her 25,000-vote loss to incumbent Rep. Chris Pappas that the GOP "failed miserably" during the midterm elections -- the "first major test on Gen Z's electoral impact.
"You've seen kind of how he's engaged more in TikTok and BeReal and all of that fun Gen Z campaign-centric things over the course of the campaign but also really enabled us to have the flexibility to do it in a way that really reached Gen Z," Sophia Shapiro said of her father.
