President Trump has energized American voters — his supporters and opponents — in the political process like never before. Chris Cillizza explains how the trends we've seen since the 2016 election are leading to potential record-breaking voter turnout in 2020.

Hey, Chris here — how enthusiastic are you about voting in the 2020 election?
TRUMP 2020
This is why Bernie needs the Dems backing him. The young voters are gonna turn out bigger then boomers.
Trump 2020, can’t wait for you guys to cry again
CNN very, as an American it’s our civil duty!
So Bevin, how is Trump’s endorsement working out for you?? Uh wait… yeah…
@PAID CNN ROBOT I can’t wait for Sane Americans to DESTROY the Dems in 2020 !!!!
In the consent judgment, Kentucky acknowledges that the state is not in compliance with the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA): “[T]he practices currently in place in Kentucky do not comply with the NVRA’s requirement that states conduct a general voter registration list maintenance program that makes a reasonable effort to remove ineligible persons from the voter rolls due to a change in residence outside of the jurisdiction …”
The address confirmation notices were sent to about seven percent of the names currently on Kentucky’s voter rolls.
As part of the consent judgment, the Kentucky State Board of Elections is to proceed with a canvass mailing “to identify registrants through mail returned as undeliverable who may have unreported moves since 2009.” Voters who do not respond to the notices sent by Kentucky and who do not vote in the next two federal elections must be removed from the voting rolls. Despite the consent judgment being signed a year ago, Democrat Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes’s office has been accused of improperly delaying the processing of previous mailings through 2018, delaying the final clean up of Kentucky’s voting rolls by at least two years.
@davids11131113 Bevin was 5 points up just before trump came!
@PAID CNN ROBOT Due to trump’s “stupid trade wars” (quote by the European Commissioner), manufacturing and transportation are in a recession now. Furthermore, according to Moody’s Analytics, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND JOBS have already been lost.

Ballot Box or Bust.
Free people who don’t freely embrace their responsibilities won’t remain free.
@P. Hamilton I do believe that you have that completely backwards: It seems that the majority of current Republicans wait to be told in a tweet by Trump what they should believe and how they should feel.
@Dingus The way you’ve phrased your reply to @Patricia roe makes zero sense.
@Perro dehont Excellent point, but I bet we can think of something for @Dingus to do that no one else would want to do for $15/hour!
@B Bodziak Yeah great solution to this catch 22 problem , he’s well worth it :)-
wtf? 65% as the highest? This is a bad democracy in germany the lowest participitation was around 71%.
@Vera von Weltin Big deal , you cant undue weeks of secrecy , the cross examination will be the best part. You’ve only heard leaks from direct examination
@Troy Stocker dude.. Really you think the democrats are gerrymandering? Are you blind? Republicans are way worse at that
@gastarbeiter1 you’re good at arguing probs(I don’t mean it ironically). Its always hard to argue with Trump voters because they don’t want to see the facts.
@X X and he’s not even american. Guten job 🙂
Everyone needs to vote in the primaries. That is when your vote matters most. If you don’t want to get stuck with having to choose between the lesser of two evils then you need to vote in the primaries. Also encourage your friends and family to vote too.
Bernie has an extremely tough route. If he doesn’t win 50% of the pledged delegates it’ll go to superdelegates so we need to win hard.
@Tim Murphy ANYBODY but a democrat.
@Andre Pettersson
Anybody? Okay, I’ll take yo’ mama.
@Tim Murphy lmao good one but looking at your profile pick even she has higher standards. Anyway she would definetly be better than any democrat… she would unfortunately not be quite as heavy handed as i would be but better than whatever cancer the dems could get a hold of.
Did he just say MATH.. I will be here waiting for what you will say when you gonna have your first UBI check. And that’s the POINT
😆 😆 😆
i’m turning 18 in 2 months from tomorrow, and every person i know my age is absolutely ready to vote for the first time. the young voter turnout will be the highest it’s ever been
Allegedly
@NPC Non Binary Demigender Pansexual Two Spirit dont forget Socialism. This youth does not know whats in for them
We will vote him out!
Congrats, make your voice heard.
Yang gang thank you
Next year is definitely gonna see a lot of aggression
Yang gang baby!”
Previous month I managed to gather my first five figure check ever!!! I’ve been working for this company over the web for 2 yrs now and I never been happier… They are paying me $95 per hour, and the most desirable thing about that is that I am not really that tech-savvy, they only asked for standard idea of internet and common typing skill…Awesome thing about this is that I have more time with my kids. I am able to dedicate quality time with my friends and family and take care of my children and also going on family vacation together with them very routinely. Don’t avoid this opportunity and make sure to act fast. Check it out, what I do… *revenue39.com*
I’m happy that young people are voting more, especially with Bernie in the race
Bernie 420😉
Yeah because they havent figured out taxes yet, that’s why they love bernie right now!

The first year that I’m old enough to vote.
0:31 YANG GANG. Even tho u might not like him. Yang Gang is just too funny
I think we should be required to vote like other countries
Chris is crazy. I think he has a daymare or some kind of mentally ill.
