Generational Shift in Voter Preferences
Recent polls show a potential shift in voter preferences, with former President Trump appealing more to younger voters and President Biden gaining support among older voters. Strategies like organizing specific events and emphasizing Biden's experience and age are being used to attract older voters. On the other hand, younger voters are expressing concerns about issues such as Biden's stance on the war in Gaza and the climate crisis, leading to a potentially tighter race in this demographic.
Military Healthcare Deserts Impacting Troops and Families
NPR's investigation reveals that half of U.S. military bases are located in healthcare deserts, where access to primary care, maternal care, or mental health services is limited. This lack of healthcare options affects about one in three military families, jeopardizing their well-being and potentially discouraging recruitment or retention. The Pentagon acknowledges the problem and aims to hire more clinicians, but resolving the issue will take time.
