Even though Bernie Sanders isn't currently the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, the Vermont senator completely rocked the youth vote during the primaries. In fact, he received more votes from the under-30 set than Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton combined. According to The Washington Post, a report by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts University showed that Sanders won nearly 30% of the youth vote, which translated to over 2 million votes. Together, Trump and Clinton received 1.6 million.

And because Sanders did so unbelievably well during the primaries, he took votes away from Clinton. This means that Trump has actually received more votes from millennials than Clinton so far. (He's at an estimated 828,000 while Clinton is at roughly 766,000.) Trump polled especially well among young men, according to Politico. To keep this trend from continuing during the presidential election in November, Clinton's team has developed a comprehensive strategy to appeal to youth voters — which hopefully won't include emoji, learning how to "Dab" on Ellen, or calling herself "Chillary Clinton."

Hillary's previous attempts at appealing to young voters have seemed disingenuous, so her team is reportedly trying to change that by calling for backup. President Obama, who endorsed Clinton earlier this month, and Bernie Sanders (who still hasn't technically conceded) will each campaign for Clinton in the fall, uniting to keep Trump out of the White House. Despite Trump's performance with the youth vote in the primaries and the fact that 75% of people under 40 have negative feelings toward him, it's still important for Clinton to connect with young people.
