    • Abstract:
      According to an article in U.S. News & World Report, young voters in the 2024 election are feeling disillusioned and disappointed with both major candidates for president. While 73% of young adults aged 18-34 have given some thought to the upcoming election, only 31% feel better off than they were four years ago. Many young people are still undecided about whom to vote for and lack access to relevant information about issues, candidates, and the voting process. It is important to listen to young voters and understand their diverse issue priorities, as they care about a wide range of issues such as inflation, climate change, gun violence, racial justice, immigration, and student loan debt. Additionally, it is crucial to recognize that young people are not a monolithic group and have diverse identities and experiences. Efforts must be made to address the barriers faced by youth of color and those without a college education in order to build a truly representative electorate. [Extracted from the article]
