Except the evidence shows that the Democrats need someone to drive out the youth vote in order to win. They took back the house in 2018 largely because younger voters turned out.
Obama's win in 2008 and the Democrats' big pickups in the House and Senate that year were also driven by increased youth voter turnout.
