Young Democrats warn Biden he must quickly change course

Young Democratic voters are sounding the alarm and warning President Biden that his reelection bid could be in jeopardy if he doesn’t change course on the issues that matter most to them, including the war in Gaza.

While they have soured on Biden on a range of issues from cost of living to climate issues, the rash of protests at college campuses around the country has been the latest point of contention with the president.

“He will lose the election if he decides to roll the dice and assumes that Gaza isn’t at the top of minds right now,” said Elise Joshi, the executive director of Gen-Z for Change —which was once run under the name TikTok for Biden.

Joshi added that the last six months have seen “an increasing pace of concern” about the president.

The crisis in Gaza has been a tipping point for many young voters, and some polls have shown support dissolving for Biden.

Last month, a Harvard Youth Poll showed Biden’s support from voters ages 18-29 had slipped from about 60 percent in 2020 down to 45 percent.

A CNN poll last weekend also revealed that Biden was 11 percentage points behind Trump in a head-to-head match-up among young voters.

Some say Biden isn’t addressing some of the issues that matter most to young voters.

“therapist and actor” huh? If you’re gonna borrow money for “education”, you should maybe learn an actual skill?

They’re warning the wrong person. Biden isn’t the one making decisions or running things.

He changes course every day on Israel.

He's trying to have it both ways. He needs the support from the Jewish Democrats so he can finance his campaign but at the same time he needs the votes from the young democrats.

I forgot about that. I'd stay FAR away from Cook County, Illinois the week before the Convention and during the Convention. The protest crowds are going to be angry and massive. 😲💥🔥😵🤕😒😑🙄
