They were born late 1920s-1945, so they're currently late 70s to late 90s. They have traditionally been quite conservative. Again, that's a generalization and plenty of exceptions exist, including my 90-year-old mother.
Also, Millennials aren't moving as hard right as previous generations did at the same point. Republicans are out of step with the under-45 crowd, and an entire generation is being molded to vote Democratic (more than 65 percent of Gen Z voted for Biden). The Republicans are going to have an uphill battle to win over enough of them to maintain power as the decades go by.
