Four years ago, older white voters played a big role in helping to elect Donald Trump president, especially in key battleground states like Florida and Pennsylvania.

Robert Griffin, who’s with the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group, says to win a second term, Trump needs them to turn out in even bigger numbers.

“It’s not just that Trump had to sort of hold steady,” Griffin said. “He actually had to increase his margins a bit relative to 2016.”
