Will Gen Z Hand Democrats a ‘Blue Wave’ in the Midterms?

After losing ground with young voters (wsj.com/politics/elections/how-donald-trump-wo…), especially young men, in 2024, Democrats are trying to win back this critical part of the electorate ahead of the midterm elections. But the party faces widespread voter apathy (wsj.com/politics/elections/these-double-haters…) and a debate over how best to connect with Gen Z on issues like affordability and housing. WSJ politics reporters Sabrina Rodriguez (wsj.com/news/author/sabrina-rodriguez?mod=WSJ_…) and Maya Davis (wsj.com/news/author/maya-davis?mod=WSJ_WNPOD) join host Pierre Bienaimé (wsj.com/news/author/pierre-bienaime?mod=WSJ_WN…) to discuss how Democratic candidates are using social media, the rise of the party's progressive and Democratic socialist factions (wsj.com/politics/elections/meet-the-factions-d…), and whether young voters will show up at the polls to propel a "blue wave."
