No surge in young voters

In my precinct my 18 yo senior was the only first time voter all night ( they stand up in cheer all first time voters). You can't base a campaign on young voters coming out in mass.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I was hoping we’d see good youth turnout because that might foreshadow November. I’m still hoping they turn out in November because all the polls I’ve seen show that they hate Trump.

Once the free concert shoves off, it back to normal.

The young voters will take anyone there, and then show up at the general election I think we're all good still no need to worry.

We need them. And it's very much in their self-interest to win against Trump.
