Young people as well as college graduates, women and Black Americans formed a key piece of U.S. President Joe Biden's winning 2020 coalition. Maintaining their support will be critical in closely contested states such as Nevada, where even small declines could prove consequential to Biden's re-election bid.
At 24, Alberto Rodriguez has grandparents younger than Joe Biden. But he's more interested in the 80-year-old U.S. president's accomplishments than his age.
"Purely by accident -- I assume it was an accident -- the photographer from the newspaper got a picture of me making eye contact with Harry Truman," Biden said to chuckles last week at the Truman Civil Rights Symposium in Washington. "We will meet younger Americans where they are and turn their energy into action," Munoz said in a statement.That might not defuse questions about age, though, when it comes to Biden or Trump.
Biden's campaign is relying heavily on the Democratic National Committee, which during last year's midterms, hired campus organizers in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and other battleground states and offered weekly youth coordinating meetings to encourage in-class contacts and "dormstorms." The DNC sees young people as some of the most critical voters it will need to reach in 2024 and promises "significant investments" to mobilize them.
Other top young Democrats have lined up to back Biden. Florida Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost, who was elected to Congress last year at 26, is on the Biden campaign's advisory board, as is Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, 44. New York Rep. Alexandra Ocasio Cortez, 33, recently endorsed Biden.
