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