Will Young People Vote for Joe Biden?
Will Young People Vote for Joe Biden?
Here’s The Scoop
The ominous bells of voter discontent are ringing for President Biden, with young Democrats signaling that his reelection might be but a mirage unless he radically course-corrects on pivotal issues such as the Gaza conflict.
The President’s popularity among the youth has seen a precipitous decline, with protests erupting across college campuses nationwide. Elise Joshi, the executive director of Gen-Z for Change, warns that Biden’s lackluster stance on Gaza could be the final straw that breaks the camel’s back.
With Biden’s support among 18-29-year-olds plummeting from 60% to 45% in a recent Harvard Youth Poll, it seems the President has lost touch with the demographic that once rallied behind him.
Adding salt to the wound, a CNN poll reveals Biden trailing Trump by 11 percentage points amongst young voters. A harsh reality check for a President who has been complacent in addressing the issues that matter most to this demographic.
Kidus Girma, campaign director at the Sunrise Movement, calls out Biden’s lack of engagement with young voters, urging him to adopt a progressive mandate, particularly on the issue of Gaza. He emphasizes that the path to tranquility on college campuses lies in heeding the calls of young Americans demanding peace and an end to unconditional military aid.
Despite the President’s attempts to engage young voters through various means, his administration’s handling of the Gaza crisis appears to be a serious stumbling block. Matt Duss, executive vice president of the Center for International Policy, notes that Biden’s handling of the Gaza situation could be a significant drag on his reelection bid.
As the President scrambles to regain favor with young voters, one thing is certain – his path to reelection is far from assured.

Of course they will! He’s only gonna lose the few percent of the college-brainwashed liberal wingnuts that put the lives of SCP-Arabs over the lives of Israelis. The majority of them are still his because, for some reason, they don’t think people should have guns, (except the rappers & drug dealers they idolize,) and that everyone should embrace the alphabet-soups and encourage their preteens to become one.

Young people are more likely not to vote at all! They don’t want a fat old geezer like T-RUMP or Biden. They want a young new leader with a vision of a positive future for America. I’ve heard it over and over again from the younger voters. How did we wind up with these too old grandfathers? Please give us someone more in tune with America and it’s future, not reruns of the past!
