DES MOINES, Iowa—President Joe Biden garnered more than 60 percent of ballots cast by under-30 voters in 2020 while former President Donald Trump mustered less than 36 percent, according to Tufts University’s Tisch College of Civic Life.
That glaring gap, boosted by surging turnout—50 percent of Americans between 18–29 years old voted in 2020, an 11-percent increase from 2016—allowed President Biden to win three swing states by less than 45,000 combined votes and, ultimately, the Oval Office.
