But isn’t American society becoming older, due to Boomers low birth rate?

Doesn’t that mean older generations have more influence?

Young voters outnumber older voters, but this is mutually exclusive from an aging populace and a declining birth rate. You can chalk it up to population momentum and previously higher levels of immigration. It does mean Millennials will hold on to their electorate influence longer though.
