As the political calendar inches towards the midterm elections in November, a run of recent polling all points to one thing: President Biden has a problem with young voters.
Climate change, racial justice, and student debt are some of the key issues for young people, said Cristina Tzintzun Ramirez, president and executive director of NextGen America, one of the biggest youth vote-mobilizing organizations in the country.
Tzintzun Ramirez says cancelling student debt could help Democrats, since young voters today are the first generation in American history to be economically worse off than their parents. "I completely understand why people are feeling that [they shouldn't vote]. And at times, I still feel that way." Butler said."They might make a bigger statement than continuing to put our time and energy and vote into the system that we're realizing is just messed up and continuing not to listen; really listen to us and what we're saying that we need."
"He's been in office for his whole life. And I think he has this in common with most of the older generation of politicians, is that young people can't relate to him at all," Thurber said."Joe Biden's entire career is about being a voice that can make things happen. He's the, I suppose, the ultimate 'good old boy'. He can make things happen because he knows everybody," he said."We don't have anybody that can speak for us.
Biden performed well with Gen Z voters in 2020. However, current polling numbers show the president's approval rating with young people at all time lows.
