Young voters who backed Joe Biden in 2020 but aren't on board now are upset about inflation, the Israel-Hamas war and what they see as broken campaign promises.

Voters cited a number of policy areas that disappointed them, including insufficient moves to address climate change and Biden’s inability to fully cancel student loan debt or codify Roe v. Wade, as the president deals with a closely divided Congress. However, Biden’s response to the Israel-Hamas war may be having the greatest effect on his relationship with this voter bloc.
Austin Kapp, a 25-year-old living in Castle Rock, Colorado. “I mean, he could have codified Roe v. Wade"
While Biden and Democrats pushed to codify the protections of Roe at the federal level, congressional realities made legislative efforts impossible. A vote to codify Roe in May 2022 failed in the Senate, with Biden lashing out at Republicans afterward and urging voters to “elect more pro-choice senators this November, and return a pro-choice majority to the House.”
Camarena’s feelings toward Biden now are worse. She works for CalFire and is passionate about addressing climate change. She says she was “turned off” when the Biden administration approved the controversial Willow oil drilling project in Alaska.
“It made me really angry,” she said. “He painted himself as, you know, trying to advance or improve climate change.”
The NBC News national poll, conducted more than a month after the start of the Israel-Hamas war, shows 70% of voters under 35 disapproving of Biden’s handling of the war.
So voters are saying they wont vote for biden because he isn't cancelling student loan debt, he isn't addressing climate change, and he isn't making abortion more legal/accessible.
Do these people think that not voting for biden and helping trump win the presidency will get student loan debt cancelled, help with climate change, and make abortion more legal and accessible? Trump wants to do none of that.
They also think that biden hasn't handled the israel/hamas war well. Its not our war! What is biden supposed to do? From what i have seen he has been trying to get cease fires and trying to tell israel leader to stop/ease up on the attacking. Isn't that what he should be doing?
