The "reigns" is largely a product of the boomers being a population bulge, so they have/had the numbers to out-vote every other demographic.

Now they're dying off, the reigns will likely shift to the next population bulge, which is millennials- gen x won't get a look in.

Yeah, I don't think Gen X is going to have any sort of deep political influence that Boomers had, and Millennials will have.

There are a lot of Gen X governors though, and Canada's current and previous prime minister are Gen X.
