Who’s ‘passing the torch to new generations’?
By Michael G. Zey
Kamala Harris has declared that this election is about passing the torch to a “new generation of leadership.”
Ironically, it is Donald Trump, not Harris, meeting this challenge. By choosing J.D. Vance as his running mate, Trump is implementing the long overdue process of bringing a new, younger generation into key national governing positions.
A Donald Trump victory this November will for the first time ever put someone younger than a Baby-Boomer, the Millennial Vance, a heartbeat away from the presidency and in position to become the first Millennial president in 2029.
On the other hand, a victory by sixty-year-old Baby-Boomers Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on November 5 could keep Millennials, Gen Xers and Gen Zers out of the White House at least until 2033. If her V.P. were to successfully run for president, Boomers could continue to dominate national politics until 2041.
As a member of the Millennial cohort, born between 1983 and 1996, J.D. Vance, just 39 years old when Trump selected him as his running mate in June of this year, is two generations removed from the Boomer cohort.
