Combined, millennials and Generation Xers cast a slight majority of total votes cast, more than Boomers and older voters for the first time in decades.

This result wasn’t a surprise, because the number of millennials who are eligible to vote has been growing. As of April 2016, about 69.2 millennials were voting age — about the same as baby boomers.

Pew predicted that it is likely, but not certain, that the millennial vote will surpass Gen X in 2020. Pew made no such predictions for the midterms in 2018.
