Election 2024: The Young Vote, Part II

Election 2024: The Young Vote, Part II

People under 30 are registering to vote in record numbers. The uptick is attributed in part to “the switch” when President Joe Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination. Endorsements from Taylor Swift and other celebrities have also inspired many young people to register to vote, prompting predictions that young voters will have a major impact on the outcome of the election this fall.

With young millennials and Gen Z comprising one of the largest voting blocs in this election, what issues are they concerned about and how will they vote? In this second installment of SoCal Voices young voter series, 20-year-old college senior Dana Hart talks about his political influences, how he plans to approach his voting decisions this November, and the importance of discussing political issues without harming others.
