US election: Why money matters to young voters
Climate change and women鈥檚 rights are also top priorities.
It鈥檚 less than three weeks until the US election where voters will decide who they want their next president to be: either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. Overall, voters under 35 will make up about a third of the electorate, so the youth vote is an important one. But which issues matter most to them?
麻豆社 reporter Nathalie Jimenez in New York explains why the economy is at the front of everyone鈥檚 minds. And The Climate Question鈥檚 Jordan Dunbar, who鈥檚 just back from a road trip across the US swing state of Georgia, shares what matters to voters there.
