Doesn’t help that young people don’t vote.
On the positive side, turnout among people aged 18-24 was the highest it had been since the early 70s in 2020, despite the candidates arguably not being the most relatable for that age group.
It's still obvious that this is a problem though - turnout among people 45+ has been above average at least since the 60s, and the 65+ group has seen the highest turnout of any group for more than three decades now.
