Ocasio-Cortez: Millennials' economic anger to drive generational political shift

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes a significant generational shift is underway in American politics, driven by the growing influence and economic frustrations of Millennials. She noted that Millennials, now established adults, are increasingly decisive at the polls and are expressing anger over economic futures mortgaged by older generations. While Baby Boomers still hold a larger share of the electorate, their numbers are declining, and Ocasio-Cortez anticipates Millennials will soon tip the political scales, particularly as they seek solutions for issues like housing affordability and climate change.
