OP is surely aware that Congress cannot raise the voting age. It would take another Constitutional amendment to overturn the XXVI.
In fact, all Congress can do is enforce it.
Twenty-Sixth Amendment
Section 1:
The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.
Section 2:
The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
That’s why, for example, the best way to end the Electoral College is not by constitutional amendment but through congressional legislation, such as passing the NPVIC bill. www.nationalpopularvote.com
To address the concerns of young voters, the government will either ban TikTok or raise the voting age, thereby diminishing the relevance of their issues.
Pretty much, the generation of old fucks that have a vice grip on both parties absolutely hate millennials and Gen Z, that’s why so many of them are demanding college administrators send police after campus protests and are threatening to withhold donations over them even though it should be totally obvious that doing so only makes the protests bigger, but there is a downright compulsive need to “put those damn kids in their place” among a lot of the 50+ year old crowd
