More millennial women are turning to conservatism and are looking to leaders like NRS’s Wayne LaPierre for inspiration.

Democrats have grown far too reliant on young voters over the past two decades. With millennials set to bypass baby boomers as the largest generation of eligible voters in 2020, they believed they had secured the majority for the foreseeable future.

Present reality tells a different story. The national exit poll shows Clinton dropped 5 points among 18- to 29-year-olds. In fact, she did so poorly among this demographic that it handed her the loss in battleground states. In Missouri, where younger voters backed Obama by 19 points in 2012, they favored Trump by 11. The two candidates split the 18- to 29-year-old vote in Iowa, a state easily taken by Obama. In Ohio, Clinton was 13 points behind the former president.
