Young voters are split about watching presidential debate

  • Resumen

  • Alexa D'Amato reports for WLIW-FM from the presidential debate in Philadelphia.

    Young voters are split about watching the Trump-Harris debate and new polling by the New York Times and Siena College supports this. Freshman Hope Galloway gave her predictions for the candidates face off.

    I believe there's going to be a lot of personal attacks involved, which I'm not super excited to hear. But I believe that some majority will come out of it and hopefully we'll get some material that's at least a little bit televised.

    While freshman Willow Arnold says the debate falls on her birthday.

    I didn't really think about it that hard because it's my birthday, so I kind of don't want that to be ruined. He can ruin any vibe, anything. Like when people bring up, like politics and stuff like that.

    But other students D'Amato spoke to say they will be closely watching the Trump Harris debate to learn more about the candidates positions on the economy and border security.

    Michael Dent reports for WLIW-FM from the presidential debate in Philadelphia. It's not clear how many college students plan to watch the Trump-Harris debate. Take a listen to some Hofstra students' on following politics.

    I just like, don't think about politics, that. I mean, I know what I was taught in, like, history and stuff, but aside from that. Not much. Politics is not something I've been taught.

    That was junior Laylane Foster, freshman Aiden Morrow, and junior Nea Roman. For some perspective on why, here's an educators view:

    There's been a lot of failure in the Board of Ed. with high school students who can't read.

    Marianne Callanberg is a professor at Touro College, and she taught in high school for 34 years. Callenberg's husband, George Fleischer, is retired. He taught high school for 30 years.

    Children who are going to school will not understand unless they get a fundamental understanding of reading.

    Fleischer and Callenberg say they'll be watching tomorrow night's debate, along with what they hope will be much of Gen Z.
