Path to the Polls: Why are young voters so against a Trump-Biden rematch and what’s the alternative?
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – There is a lot of discontent among young voters in the race for the White House.
(Press play above to watch this week’s “Vote 2024: Path to the Polls” episode On Demand.)
Here’s the bottom line: They don’t want a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump .
Ask them why, and they’re pretty candid.
They don’t like Biden’s handling of the economy . They don’t like his support of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and they think he’s too old.
As for Trump -- they think he is too extreme and divisive . Young people are against the Republican agenda pushing abortion bans and book bans, and they don’t feel like they are being heard.
It’s that simple!
