CNN analyst contends ‘miserable’ economic prospects are hurting Biden’s support

Published May 13, 2024 2:27pm ET



CNN analyst Van Jones argued that President Joe Biden has not yet secured the support of young voters ahead of the 2024 election, which is partially due to the “miserable” economic prospects these people are facing.

Jones had been asked about recent polling data that found former President Donald Trump ahead of Biden among voters ages 18-29, with the former president at 46% and Biden at 43%. Trump is also just behind Biden among Hispanic voters by only 3 percentage points in the poll, with Jones suggesting that the new data should be “a wake-up call” ahead of the election.
