Biden faces challenges as younger voters show dwindling Democratic leanings, party's Gen Z whisperer warns

President Joe Biden received a warning from his Gen Z whisperer on Monday, urging him to address the waning enthusiasm of young voters ahead of the 2024 election.

What Happened: After studying data from young voters for more than 20 years, Biden 2020 campaign pollster John Della Volpe revealed to West Wing Playbook that young voters today are less likely to associate with the Democratic Party compared to the spring of 2019. A greater portion now identify as independents, and fewer see politics as an effective way to bring significant changes.

Following the Supreme Court's decision on student loans last month, senior White House officials spoke with influencers who summed up the information on their respective accounts, generating around 6 million views on TikTok , Instagram and Twitter, reports Politico.

The DNC also trains young voters on how to mobilize on college campuses and provides resources to help those voters land jobs in Democratic politics.

Why it matters: According to Della Volpe, despite historically high levels of youth engagement and their continued progressive stance, the outcome of the 2024 election for the incumbent president and Democrats could be compromised if these young voters decide to abstain from participating due to the aforementioned changes in attitude, Politico reported.

Despite these efforts, youth voting remains unpredictable. Gen Z's party affiliation is not firmly established, with only 30% of the generation identifying as Democrats. This suggests that the youth vote is up for grabs in the upcoming elections.

The youth vote could be a deciding factor in the 2024 election. Biden is currently leading in a hypothetical race against potential candidates. However, the fluctuating nature of these polls underscores the importance of securing the youth vote.

As the 2024 election approaches, the Biden team will need to continue its efforts to engage with young voters and address their concerns. Youth voting could be the key to securing a victory in the next election.
