In 2016, millennials began to exert a considerable influence on presidential politics. Yet when the dust settled, the predominantly liberal millennial demographic had drifted far enough from Hillary Clinton to allow Donald Trump to win the presidency.
For thousands of millennial voters who joined a mass exodus to third party campaigns, the mainstream parties both failed to nominate candidates that represented their values.
In the first podcast by the Big Red, we talk to two millennials on opposite sides of the political spectrum to pin down which issues are most important to millennials within the changing landscape of 21st-century American politics. We also sought their insight on how this year’s decisive campaign will affect the beliefs and behaviors of millennial voters in the future.
