AP - Across the nation, voters in younger age groups could prove pivotal in the 2024 election. Young voters were crucial to the broad and racially diverse coalition that helped elect Biden in 2020. About 6 in 10 voters under 30 backed Biden nationally, according to AP VoteCast. In Florida, Biden won 64% of young voters – similar to his national numbers. While some of those voters share priorities over gun violence prevention and abortion rights, new issues that concern young voters have emerged this year. Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war has sparked protests at college campuses across the country and has thrown a new element of uncertainty into the mix, and Biden’s inability to deliver broad-based student loan forgiveness affects many young voters directly.
