... Why It Matters

Baby Boomers were critical to Trump's 2024 victory, when 51 percent of the age group voted for him.

Trump's Approval Rating Crashes With Baby Boomers

So what? A little too late for them to come to their senses.

He's going to wreck the nation for the next four years and then some.

Trump poll numbers are reaching impeachment levels after the mid-terms.

Trump poll numbers are reaching impeachment levels after the mid-terms.
