Millennials could change political landscape after election

Millennials have edged out baby boomers as the largest generation in U.S. history, and more than 75 million have come of age to vote.

What this means, according to experts, is they will have a huge say in the political landscape for years to come.

Dr. Michael O’Loughlin, a professor of political science at Salisbury University, says economic factors including college costs and employment opportunities are among the top concerns for millennials.

As we get closer to November, Dr. O’Loughlin says presidential candidates will like begin shifting their campaign to the concerns of millennial voters.

“I think you’ll see both Clinton and Trump, as well as the third party candidates Johnson and Jill Stein, attempting to make their pitches towards to the millennials,” he says. “There’s no question that they will make the pitch, the question is whether the pitch will be persuasive.”

General elections will be held November 8.
