It took a London newspaper to report this political story:

“In a hotel ballroom situated between Raleigh and Durham in North Carolina, a sea of buzzing young liberals excitedly took selfies and exchanged Instagram handles. Wrists decorated with Taylor Swift bracelets hit against one another as baby-faced teens and twentysomethings dressed in business casual applauded their compatriots’ accomplishments. Some would call this a Republican’s worst nightmare, others: the Young Democrats of North Carolina convention.”

Some 350 fired-up Young Dems were at the February meeting, reported Ariana Baio in the online newspaper Independent, which calls itself “proudly liberal.”

Baio asked the YDs about President Biden’s age.

“Even though he is older, a senior male, he has a lot of innovative ideas,” one said.

Another said Biden isn’t the “perfect” candidate for young people. “But she said that his policy record matches the wants and needs of Gen Z: ‘There’s so much on the line from LGBTQ+ rights to reproductive rights to affordable housing and education and really all of the issues that students these days find themselves struggling with are issues that are on the ballot’.”

You can read and view all that – and what young Republicans say about Trump – in Baio’s story here.

You can also see a follow-up story she did on N.C. Democratic Party Chair Anderson Clayton, “This 26-year-old could be Biden’s secret weapon.”
