“When Michigan State University Democrats held their weekly rallies in a sprawling campus dorm last spring, organizers were lucky if more than 30 students showed up.” The New York Times I will report.
“There was little enthusiasm for President Biden, the presumptive nominee who many students viewed as too old. Laticia Martinez, a junior who serves as vice president of the group, said she would have ultimately supported Biden but felt ‘guilt’ as she considered her choice.”
“But about 200 students attended the first meeting of the fall semester, reflecting what undergraduates say is growing enthusiasm for the Democratic Party on campus since Biden withdrew and Vice President Kamala Harris became the nominee. Now Michigan’s Democratic candidates are hoping to capitalize on this change to bolster their own campaigns.”
Los Angeles TimesHarris still hasn’t made the decision, and focus groups with young voters reveal why.
