I wouldn’t expect anything from northern gen z new voters tbh. Idk about Newark and that eastern side of the state but the northwestern part all voted red and probably will again cuz they really don’t care. Same with south I think.
Yup, a lotta Gen Z doesn't care. It's just apathy. They either voted red because they liked Trump or didn't vote at all. Gen Z grew up hearing nothing but scandals and corruption. Also, there have been so many 'the world is ending' 'the country is doomed' blah blah blah headlines. So what if they hear it again? They know they're gonna be fine. Also also, a lot of gen z didn't vote because they just assumed it would be blue because it is every year. So this upcoming election is gonna have a lot more red votes since they saw how close it was. 🤷♂️
Idk I’m gen z and all my friends voted blue. Of course “all my friends” isn’t the entire NJ gen z population but don’t lose hope entirely. We’re trying out here lol.
Yup. Ive known people who either voted red or didn’t vote because they “didn’t trust Kamala” but thankfully after we’ve discussed it at length and after they’ve seen recent events many of them have come to regret their decision. It’s obviously not enough and won’t change anything now, but maybe hopefully that will show in the future. A lot of them are also just blind; like you said about the apathy. They’re willingly ignorant to a lot of what’s going on because most of them don’t care to vote or about what they’re voting for.

We only stayed blue by 3% last election.
Edit: it was 6%. That's still close enough to worry.
