WASHINGTON — In 2020, Joe Biden scored a narrow Electoral College victory with a decisive assist from young voters. But as the president looks beyond his first term, many young voters are not satisfied, presenting a fresh challenge as he heads into a likely rematch with former President Donald Trump in 2024.
Biden faces little risk of losing young Americans to Trump, who is far less popular among Gen Z and millennial voters. But can the president harness their anger to turn out and push him over the top? Or will their lack of perceived progress cause them to stay home, making way for a Trump victory next year?
“The answer to this question will decide the election,” said John Della Volpe, polling director at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, who specializes in young voter attitudes.
In a recent blog post, Della Volpe wrote that voters under 30, who have been key to modern Democratic victories, now appear less likely to identify as Democrats, instead aligning as independents. Worse for the party, fewer young voters see politics as a “meaningful way to create change,” which he said has been a key indicator of youth turnout.
“Nearly every sign that made me confident in historic levels of youth participation in 2018, 2020, and 2022 — is now flashing red,” he wrote.

Their votes will be counted, whether or not they submit a ballot.
Decisive? Before or after they steal another election?
Trial balloon for a possible explanation of 5-sigma improbable election results.
why does everyone act like Bite me won in 2020? He F@### LOST.
he absolutely knew this was beyond his power.
It’s a widespread multi-generatonal pissed-off bunch. Attempting to divide them into groups is classic loathing “baskets”strategy.
Yes, ballots will overcome any group of dissatisfied ACTUAL voters.
You’re going to see 75mil vote trump and 85 mil vote Biden and everyone shrug their shoulder and try to dismiss it.
Old Gallup info.:
Since 2010, young adults’ positive ratings of socialism have hovered near 50%, while the rate has been consistently near 34% for Gen Xers and near 30% for baby boomers/traditionalists. Nov 25, 2019
I think the 30% of boomers means the leftover aging hippies with long scraggly beards and rubber banded pony tails arm in arm with their gals in tie dyed tanks and the same old skirts they wore to see the Iron Butterfly perform Inna Gadda da Vida.
Still Commies.

Millennials Are Not an Exception. They’ve Moved to the Right.
Over the last decade, almost every cohort of voters under 50 has shifted rightward.
By Nate Cohn
Bolsheviks have been around a long time they learned how to fix the deal.
Their votes will be counted, and they will be nearly all DEM. Regardless of whether they filled in a form, showed up on Election Day, or did neither.
The Pubbies better see to it that Trump wins in ‘24, because if Biden wins by means of fraud again, Trump, in high dudgeon, will immediately declare himself a candidate for the 2028 nomination!
Many people voted AGAINST Trump in 2020.
Not enough for Biden to win. But enough to close the gap with election fraud.
It will be the same in 2024. Young leftists might be angry at Biden, but they'll still turn out to vote AGAINST whoever the GOP runs.
Could Trump open their eyes with a new retirement program catered to these under age 42? (Millennials) Current SSI payments taken out of the general fund and new enrollees private. Let SSI ‘wither on the vine’ for the next 40 years. Doable? Are the young more into abortion on demand and wokisms?
“But enough to close the gap with election fraud.“
Nope. Biden was getting slaughtered , to the degree that if something desperate, not to say unprecedented , weren’t done Trump statistically was as good as in. So they STOPPED the count because they HAD to to give them time to do what they had to do. 81 million votes later…
And if you stomp your’e feet and hold your breath the woke will laugh at you.
We need to get ourselves together and not act like 2 year olds.
With both the Air Game and the Ground Game we could approach the youth and give them a choice between Kennedy and the GOP candidate. Some will choose Kennedy, Some will choose our candidate. Some will not. But we can influence/educate enough to swing that demographic.
If every Trump supporter attacked the Democrat and not the voter in that other neighborhood we could swing some other Demographics also.
