When it comes to the midterms, young
0:01
people in Michigan vote way more than
0:03
any other state. Last midterm cycle,
0:06
nearly 40% of people under 30 voted.
0:08
Right now, the state is in the middle of
0:10
an intense Democratic Senate primary
0:12
race between the progressive candidate
0:14
Abdul Elsed and his opponent, the
0:17
centrist Representative Haley Stevens.
0:19
We went to Michigan and we talked to
0:21
young people across the state and found
0:23
one major issue on their minds,
0:25
affordability. Especially college
0:27
students, you experience um the heavy
0:30
costs of living, the economy, um
0:32
students on campus, especially MSU, like
0:35
um a lot of things that people care
0:36
about are the data centers, ICE. Those
0:38
are some of the biggest issues we see,
0:40
especially with MSU Dems. Um and GE
0:42
people are really outspoken, too. And I
0:43
feel like politicians need to understand
0:45
that because we can help uplift the
0:47
politicians we care about and help get
0:49
them to win, especially in primaries.
0:50
>> I think cost of living is too high. I
0:53
live in a college town. I live in
0:54
Indiana. It's not supposed to be
0:56
expensive, but it is. And I don't know.
1:00
I That's upsetting. That's unfair for
1:01
people who have been there for a long
1:03
time. And people I went to high school
1:04
with, people I went to school with.
1:06
People have been here for so long. And
1:07
it's unfair. It's unfair to Michigan.
1:09
There's It's unfair to people in the
1:10
Midwest who've been here for so long who
1:12
have their entire family here, their
1:14
entire like entire legacy here
1:16
essentially. It's unfair for those
1:18
people to um not be able to afford where
1:20
they have been born and raised and
1:22
everything they know here.
1:23
>> If you want to hear about the issues on
1:25
young voters minds and whether Democrats
1:27
or Republicans are even keeping up,
1:30
listen to Today Explained wherever you
1:32
get your podcasts.
