Young voter turnout expected to impact the 2024 elections

According to a CBS News poll, more than half of young voters definitely will vote in 2024, and only 7% say they will likely not vote. CBS News correspondent Lana Zak spoke to three young voters who pointed toward issues, and not political parties, that are influencing their votes.

For anybody who is a fan of democracy, this is great news!!

Not voting is like saying, "Let someone else dictate what happens in my life."

The young voters are the future. I remember when they dropped the age to vote to 18. We 17 year Olds were looking forward to turning 18!

[nex-ex]

I have a lot of hope for the future generations. I just hope we can get them there.

Great reporting on an important topic.

When Taylor asks them to vote, they listen 😌 gotta keep Scump from gettin in there ever again 💙

We should all send a personalized thank you card to Taylor Swift for telling her fans to vote.
No one in this country has more power than her.

If kids in a military academy are concerned about sustainability, public health, and income disparity the Republican party is doomed.

I live in Australia which has compulsory voting. Voting is discussed in high school. We have always seen it as a right of passage to vote in your first election.

Hooray let’s hear their young opinions and see what happens!!

[TheKingOfHalo]

You don't say? I wonder if they'll vote against the party who tried to raise the voting age.

[mikeriley]

They're talking environment and wealth distribution. Go Dems for the 21st Century!

Most people don't know what they have until it's GONE.

Republican voters pay for their candidates' legal fees. Independents do not vote for candidates that have legal baggage. Believe it.

[FalconsEye]

its a bad sign if an election where 60% turnout is said to be the highest in a century

[willcerf]

It makes me so jappy to hear their answers. Young voters are always so much more high minded and ideal and they see things more clearly from a 30, 000 foot view. I wish the whole country had their priorities. Sincerely, an aging millennial.

I'm a hyper informed, politically homeless GenXer, and nothing has made me more politically optimistic in my life than the political motivation of GenZ.

[MochiColorful]

in case you were wondering we have always cared but weren't old enough to vote

[jas]

For these kids to say that they are not sure of which party they are going to vote for is just so dispiriting and quite naive in my view. These kids should all be democrats all the way - the fact that they would even be considering voting for a GOP candidate, given what the GOP as a party now represents, is truly astonishing.

We can only hope. Unfortunately, our inept Dem campaign strategists are brilliant at ignoring their natural constituencies.
