Description
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, President Joe Biden is
trying to win over many of the young, climate-focused voters who
supported him four years ago. But those voters are not only frustrated
with some of the administration’s energy policies, they’re also angry
about the war in Gaza and how the president is handling it. POLITICO’s
Zack Colman breaks down how Biden’s Gaza stance risks young climate
voters in 2024. Plus, White House adviser John Podesta has been tapped
to be the Biden administration's top climate diplomat once John Kerry
steps down from that post this spring.
