Teenagers born after 9/11 will get to vote in this election

Probably slightly more Democratic than the previous generation due to demographic differences as well as general dislike of Republican policies. The exception is if there's another Obama-style Democratic candidate (in which case they'll be heavily Democratic) or Trump is popular in a Reagan-like way (in which case they could be somewhat Republican, but again, watch out for demographics). That's just a rough guess, though.

We won't have a clear idea on the voting habits of "people born after 9/11" until 2026 at the earliest though, unless someone specifically does a poll of eighteen-year-olds in 2020 for some reason.

Also I see no evidence that "the alt right generation" is a thing.

None yet, but we'll see. I didn't think it was possible until I saw that the French regional elections last year had 35% of French youth (18-24) voting for the National Front.

I'm still inclined to agree with you, but I feel uncertain about where their voting patterns will lead them. The internet is a powerful tool of persuasion.

The US is not France.

Anyway one thing I can say with confidence is that there will be a huge gender gap.

I'll be voting next cycle! (I was only 2 months when 9/11 happened)

However, it does make me wonder why do White Millennials still (albeit slightly) lean Republican. I ask this question because the high school (which is urban) I attend is slightly greater than 95% Black and relatively few Whites. The White students I know have openly expressed themselves to be very Democratic leaning and not fond of Republicans (Maybe living in an 80% Black Capital City does have some effects).

Do White Millennials just (for the most part) pick up after their parents or something else?

I've pondered on this for quite some time especially since many TV shows often show younger Whites as being very liberal rather than being more like their parents/grandparents.

How do white adults in Jackson vote? I'd guess it's not as racially polarized as the rest of the state.
