Just want to point out, if the number pan out that we won with increased youth turnout,

[Claustrum]

part of it is because of the student loan debt relief program. I was on the fence with the program but Biden once again proves that he knows the electorate more than a lot of us. Once again, trust Biden. He and his team knows his stuff.

1. Maybe some people are listening to....

Bernie?

Don't throw rocks!

4. No, Elizabeth Warren was the one with an actual plan.

Seven minute abs.

2. Also, once they vote, if we can increase the number in 2024, voting can become a habit.

And some of these young people, knowing they made a difference, may vote again, may even considering running starting at something local. That's the way you get the farm team going. Let them know they made a difference, and they are the future. One other thing to remember about the student loan debt relief program, it frees up money for them to spend and not only make their life a bit more secure, but it helps the economy. That's not lost money. The money is circulated back into a car, a decent apartment, a house, or maybe just a lighter feeling that their debt is less. I'm old. I don't have student loan, but I not only support the program, I think it should have been more.

3. I supported the program but I was worried about a backlash from older voters.

I thought, at the time, that it's probably worth it with the backlash. But there is likely not any backlash at all.

5. Older voters I know have a lifetime of experience hearing about bailouts -- auto companies,

manufacturing, tax breaks for corporate America. They also understand that state governments have decided not to invest in public colleges and universities -- leaving the bulk of students facing tuition increases on a huge scale. Federal student grants and loans got many young folks into higher ed and professional training, and kept them there.

6. Yes. But I do think it was abortion and what that represents (the risk to other linked rights)
