Showing Original Post only (View all)Bernie Sanders Press Secretary Says Young Voters 'Want Daddy Bernie' [View all]
https://www.mediaite.com/election-2020/bernie-sanders-press-secretary-says-young-voters-want-daddy-bernie/Briahna Joy Gray, national press secretary for Independent Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, says that a new poll shows young voters want daddy Bernie.
On Monday morning, Gray tweeted out the results of a new Harvard Institute of Politics poll of young voters, along with the message that The youths have spoken. They want daddy Bernie.
According to the poll Gray cited, Sanders is polling at 31 percent among likely young Democratic presidential primary voters between the ages of 18 and 29, outpacing his next competitor, former Vice President Joe Biden, by eleven points. Beto ORourke was in third with ten percent, with no other candidate garnering more than five percent in the poll.
If only 'Daddy Bernie' can get young people to actually vote it might be meaningful.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I'm sure the rich in this country can afford a tax increase with all the tax breaks they've enjoyed
