Young liberal activists are displeased with President Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war, per a report from Thursday.
"It’s clear that young people are really, really disillusioned with this presidency — disillusioned with [Biden’s] choices on climate and Gaza and beyond that to foreign policy and across the board," Keanu Arpels-Josiah, an organizer with youth climate group Fridays for Future NYC, told Politico.
The 18-year-old said that Biden needs to do more than expect that young people will vote for him because he's the most viable alternative to former President Trump.

Executive director of Data for Progress Danielle Deiseroth told Politico that Biden is facing a difficult task for 2024: holding together a coalition that empowers young climate activists.

Biden's signals on his support for a cease-fire in Gaza have divided competing groups within his base.
Michigan Arabs and Muslim community leaders are continuing to voice their anger against Biden over his refusal to call for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza.
"I shouldn’t have to say how important morally it is for a cease-fire, but it’s also important politically if that’s all this administration cares about," Elise Joshi, executive director of Gen Z for Change, said to Politico.

Climate activist and TikToker Alex Haraus said that young people have been frustrated with Biden over his handling of the war in Gaza.
