Wanted to share this news from the campaign. There is good polling that shows the support for the President among young voters is much higher than reported in the media which has been portraying the youth vote as a monolith, mad at the President. This is very smart, great development. Enjoy this video of the amazing chair of the NC Democratic Party, Anderson Clayton, launching this effort with the Vice President.
15 Youth Vote Groups Endorse Biden-Harris Campaign, Announce Initiatives to Support Reelection Efforts
Today, more than a dozen leading young voter groups announced their endorsements of the Biden-Harris campaign and new initiatives to support its reelection efforts. The organizations include Blue Future, College Democrats of America, Democratic Youth Coalition, Dream For America, Grassroots Dem HQ, High School Democrats of America, Jr. Newtown Action Alliance, NextGen PAC, Path to Progress, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Students Demand Action, Team ENOUGH, Voices of Gen-Z, Voters of Tomorrow, and the Young Democrats of America.
Never before have this many young voter groups come together to back a presidential ticket this early before the election. These 15 organizations span issue areas, demonstrating the support for the Biden-Harris vision across youth priorities. Today’s announcement builds on the historic slate of endorsements Biden-Harris 2024 has received from labor, women’s, gun violence prevention, and LGBTQ+ groups. Both independently and in partnership with the Biden-Harris campaign, these youth groups will do the critical work to register and mobilize their generations on campus, online, and beyond.
Together these organizations will hire hundreds of young organizers, mobilize over 1,000 campus, local, and state chapters/affiliates, and over 500,000 volunteers, reach over 26 million people on social media, and make over 155 million direct voter contacts across the country.
Young voters delivered for the Biden-Harris campaign in 2020. They returned to the polls in 2022 and 2023 to vote for key ballot initiatives and candidates who stand for their values. These youth groups will ensure this key voting bloc shows up again in 2024 with the same force to send President Biden and Vice President Harris back to the White House.
