Harnessing the Youth Vote

Young voters are pivotal in determining the outcome of elections, particularly as enthusiasm around the Democratic nominee grows. Historical skepticism exists among these voters regarding whether their participation translates into substantial political change, especially considering issues like gun violence and climate change, which profoundly affect their lives. For instance, Generation Z, comprising about 41 million potential voters aged 14 to 27, has a heightened awareness of political matters and has shown increased voter turnout, necessitating tailored outreach strategies from political leaders. Engaging with these voters involves understanding their specific concerns and affirming that their voices do matter in shaping the future.
