Democrats believe young Florida voters will come to the polls in November because of the abortion and marijuana measures on the ballot. If they do, President Joe Biden will likely get their support even though many are lukewarm to a second term for him.

Abortion and marijuana will be on Florida ’s November ballot, and these issues are critical issues for young voters. Jayden D’Onofrio passes out Plan B, condoms and rolling papers to educate young voters at Florida Atlantic University on Thursday, April 11 in Boca Raton, Fla. Abortion and marijuana will be on Florida ’s November ballot, and these issues are critical issues for young voters.

Florida Democrats hope young voters will be driven to the polls by ballot amendments legalizing marijuana and enshrining abortion rights. They hope the more tolerant views of young voters on those issues will reverse an active voter registration edge of nearly 900,000 for Republicans in Florida, which has turned from the ultimate swing state in 2000 to reliably Republican in recent years.

Voters under 45 were slightly more likely than others to say abortion should always be legal, with 30% taking that position. The AP VoteCast survey lends some credence to his thinking. About 6 in 10 Florida voters in the 2022 elections favored legalizing the recreational use of marijuana nationwide, the survey found. Among voters under 45, that was 76%. Still, it’s unclear how important that issue is for younger voters compared with other issues.

But in Florida, it will be abortion rights and marijuana that give voters actual control over issues beyond a presidential rematch most did not want but got anyway, said Trevian Briskey, a 21-year-old FAU student.
