Young voters who’d grown disenchanted with Biden appear eager to back the new presumptive Democratic nominee. Some are still watching her next moves.
Cameron Elgart, a 23-year-old musician who lives in Idaho, was dismayed at the prospect of another presidential race pitting Joe Biden against Donald Trump. He planned to sit out November’s election.
After supporting Biden in 2020, Elgart said the president had lost his vote over his handling of the war in Gaza. Now that Vice President Kamala Harris is running in Biden’s place, he’s changed his mind about staying on the sidelines.
