Joe Biden could be running for President for the second time in 2024, probably against former President Trump if his indictment charges are dropped. 

In the last election, Joe Biden’s supporters were young citizens of the United States and surprisingly, many of the young supporters still believe in him. 

His 2024 campaign plans to emphasize messages that could especially resonate with young people in the coming weeks as the anniversary of the sweeping Inflation Reduction Act approaches in mid-August.

In 2020, 61% of voters under age 30 — and 55% of those between 30 and 44 — supported Biden, according to AP VoteCast, a nationwide survey of the electorate.

But some may disagree that the age factor is a big issue. 

Terrance Woodbury, co-founder & CEO of the Democratic polling firm HIT Strategies said: 

“There’s a frustration and exhaustion that they feel with the rematch. What’s more of a problem than either of those two candidates individually, is that a system can just keep reproducing. And I think a lot of people just find that untenable.”

An April poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that just 25% of Democrats under 45 said they would support Biden in a general election, compared with 56% of older Democrats. 

The Republican National Committee’s strategy is to use Biden’s age against him in the coming elections, posting online videos of Biden seeming frail or shaking. 

Biden said he “took a hard look” at his age while deciding to seek a second term.
