The View is worried young people and minorities won’t vote for Biden as Trump gains support
The View hosts express concern over President Biden’s reelection chances
The hosts of The View dedicated a segment to discussing President Joe Biden’s 81st birthday and the potential impact on his 2024 reelection campaign. With less than a year until the next presidential election, the hosts delved into the concerns surrounding two key demographics: younger voters and black voters.
Black voters’ crucial role in the election
Co-host Sunny Hostin emphasized the significance of the black vote, stating that the likely Democratic nominee would be unable to secure victory without their support. She highlighted various issues, such as voting rights, student loan debt, the funding gap in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and the lack of police reform, that could influence black voters’ decision to back President Biden.
“I do wonder, because voting rights are still under attack, because of student loan debt, because of the HBCU gap in tuition, the lack of funding, because of no police reform or real police reform, whether or not black voters are going to support this president,” Hostin expressed. “I hope they will. They must because the other option — the alternative is the alternative from hell.”
Concerns regarding younger voters
The hosts also expressed apprehension about the support of younger voters for President Biden. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out that some younger voters were dissatisfied with Biden’s stance on Israel’s conflict with Hamas and the absence of student loan forgiveness. Co-host Sara Haines echoed this sentiment, expressing surprise at the younger generation’s reaction to Biden’s Middle East policy.
“One thing I’m shocked at is that this young vote in regard to what’s going on in the Middle East has so supremely — I don’t know if it will affect where they vote or if they vote, but there’s a certain ignorance, and it might be just inherent to lack of experience, that they would risk getting Donald Trump,” Haines remarked. “If they don’t like what President Biden has done in the Middle East, wait for it, young people, wait for it, ’cause Donald Trump is not going to be the right person for the job.”
Winning over younger voters and addressing economic concerns
The challenge of appealing to younger voters is not exclusive to President Biden. In a potential rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump, recent polls indicate that Trump is gaining more support from voters aged 18 to 34. Trump garnered 46% of the vote from this demographic, while Biden received 42%.
Furthermore, the Biden administration faces the task of addressing concerns about the economy. A majority of voters under the age of 30, 59% to be exact, rate the state of the economy as “poor.” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen acknowledged this issue and emphasized the need to communicate the steps taken by the Biden administration to tackle economic challenges.

How important are younger voters in President Biden’s reelection campaign, and what issues do they prioritize that he needs to address to maintain their support
Side, I think, really doesn’t have our best interests at heart. But, I think these are real, serious issues that black voters are looking at.”
Hostin’s concerns are not unwarranted. During his campaign, President Biden made promises to address these issues and bring about meaningful change. However, progress on these fronts has been slow, and some black voters may begin to question whether their support has been taken for granted.
Furthermore, the recent passing of restrictive voting laws in several states has raised concerns about the ability of black voters to freely exercise their right to vote. These laws disproportionately affect communities of color and could potentially discourage black voters from turning out in the next election.
The importance of younger voters
Aside from black voters, the hosts also discussed the significance of younger voters in President Biden’s reelection campaign. Co-host Meghan McCain pointed out that younger voters played a crucial role in his victory in the 2020 election and their continued support is vital for his chances in 2024.
“Young voters really showed up for Biden in 2020, and without them, he wouldn’t have won,” McCain said. “But the challenge is keeping them engaged and energized for the next election. It’s important for President Biden to address issues that matter to young voters, such as climate change, healthcare, and affordable education.”
McCain’s words highlight the need for President Biden to deliver on the promises he made to younger voters during his campaign. Issues like climate change have been a top concern for many young voters, and failing to make significant progress in this area could result in a loss of support.
Additionally, the rising cost of healthcare and education continues to burden young voters, and they will be looking to President Biden to take decisive action on these fronts. Failure to address these issues adequately may lead to a loss of enthusiasm among younger voters.
Navigating the challenges ahead
The hosts of The View acknowledge that President Biden faces significant challenges in his bid for reelection. However, they also express hope that he can address the concerns raised by black and younger voters and secure their support in 2024.
“President Biden can’t take any voter for granted. He needs to listen to these concerns and take decisive action,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg said. “If he wants to win in 2024, he needs to show that he is committed to making meaningful change in areas that matter to these key demographics.”
As the election approaches, it is clear that President Biden will need to work diligently to maintain support from black voters and younger voters. By addressing their concerns and making progress on key issues, he can increase his chances of a successful reelection campaign. The hosts of The View will undoubtedly continue to monitor these developments closely and offer their insights as the election unfolds.
