I am a young voter that voted for Trump (felt pressure from my parents at the time) Now that I’m not living at home anymore, I can’t wait to vote blue for the very first time!!! Harris is seriously a huge breath of fresh air and I trust a prosecutor to lead our country over a criminal any day of the week.

Parkland was an absolute tragedy, but man, those kids are smiling down at David for carrying on their torch and fighting every day for a better world.

David Hogg is amazing. Kudos to him for taking full advantage of this appearance and saying everything he wanted to say - like asserting Clarence Thomas has to go. He lays it all out there. I don't know how he feels about politics, maybe he's better as an activist, but our gov't sure would be better with him working for it/us

The Biden-Harris Administration has been talking about cancelling student debt since they took office, and have cancelled over 161 billion in student loan debt. And they have been talking about it over and over, and they laid out the reasons why they couldn't get more done. They have explained to the point of exhaustion that the courts got in the way. They also explained that we need to retake the House, keep and expand the Senate, and keep the WH if we want to see more done on student loan forgiveness. Vote Blue!!

Want to win young voters? Pick WALZ for VP

[ighjmrg]

I think she has proven herself! AS SHE HAS STATED “ we deserve better” WE WILL NOT GO BACK” !

[lifespanwellnessbeauty-i]

He's right. I'm 63 and just had 2 of my student loans forgiven.

[brittanya]

She needs to pick Tim Walz as her VP to win the young/progressive vote.

Young people like David give me hope for the future of democracy...

Parents who have children who just turned 18. Let’s start the conversation at home and encourage them to register.

[DavidIvey-ccfp]

Her slogan is the bomb... "We're NOT going back!"

[patriciataylor]

My son registered to vote. He is 20 as he does not want Trump. As an immigrant we don’t want Trump in office,

Probably the best thing she can do is advoid picking Shapiro or anyone else that is overly fond of Israel as veep.

[KendraSinclair]

I worry that Shapiro and his controversies could also cause problems with Gen Z voters. His past comments are very unpopular with a large part of those voters.
