Will young american swing elections?

It is trite to say that it is difficult to get young people interested in politics. Even though to Konbini news, commonplaces are not appreciated, we have to admit that in the United States, figures don’t lie. In the last mid-term elections in 2014, only 17% of under 18 years old voted. In its peak years, 21% of young people aged between 18-29 years old went to the ballot box. However, this year, everything changed.

This year’s mid-term elections are taking place on this november 6th and an explosion in the number of early voting of constituent between the age of 18 and 29 are being registered in certain States. This is the case of the States of Georgia and Texas, about more than 500 % of both States, as reported in le quotidien britannique The Independent.

(...) Those mid-term elections, “Midterms” as Americans say, they are crucial. One part of the country hope to sway Trump’s supporters of America.

Answer

the end--> At the end of these elections, one third of the senate and the entire House of Representatives will be renewed. Today, Donald Trump’s party has a majority in both Houses. In order to have a majority in congress, Democrats have to win in total 25 seats, as specified in Le Figaro.

A strong mobilization

How to account for the mobilization of these young voters which is 5 times higher to that of 2014? This certainly has to do with with the intensive mobilization campaign led by certain American artists, as we can see in this music video in which Leonardo Dicaprio and Brad Pitt called on the nation to mobilize and to make the effort to vote.
