ABCNEWS - Ocasio-Cortez says 'generational tidal wave' of millennials reshaping the electorate
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. said Sunday a "generational tidal wave" of millennial voters is reshaping the electorate in the wake of recent primary elections. "Millennials are not punk kids anymore," Ocasio-Cortez told ABC News' "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl.

AXIOS (Russell Contreras) - A slow shift among Black voters is opening the door for Republicans
A generational and structural shift is decoupling Black identity from Democratic Party loyalty, transforming a once-reliable voting bloc into a cohort of "political free agents" that the GOP is uniquely positioned to exploit. Why it matters: Even modest GOP gains — combined with weakening party loyalty — could make a big difference in close elections in a post-Voting Rights Act world. - President Trump is making gains with Black voters despite posting racist videos , using racist rhetoric and advancing policies critics say erase slavery history and weaken voting rights. - An Axios review of recent data shows breaks in the strong Black support for Democrats going back to John F. Kennedy's 1960 presidential run and Barack…

Data: Gallup/Brookings Institution's Center for Community Uplift; Chart: Axios Visuals Most Americans say race doesn't drive their daily decisions, even as the country feels more divided than ever, a new national survey finds. Why it matters: Politics and social media amplify racial division. But in daily life — at work, in friendships and in families — Americans report far more interracial contact, and far less race-based decision-making, than the national mood suggests. - The shift is largely generational, driven by rising interracial marriage and changing demographics, dramatically reshaping of daily life. - Meanwhile, high-profile racist rhetoric on social media — including from national political figures — reinforces a…
