Generation Z includes people born in the late '90s and early 2000s.
In a recent interview with Fox News, three such voters were asked about their views on Biden's climate change agenda. It turns out that issue is not among their main priorities; the economy and democracy, however, are.
In Evita Duff-Alfonso's opinion, it is smart of Biden to put so much focus on climate change, because it distracts from the real concerns Gen Zers have: their future.
"The economy is a huge issue. Gen Zers don't feel like they can buy a house, they can't start a family, they can't even have the same job opportunities that Millennials and Gen Xers had before them," she told "Fox & Friends First." "It's a big issue for Gen Zers."
Christian Hodges suggested, though, that the economy, while important, may even be on a back burner for those in his generation who are more focus on other issues that directly affect them.
"Young men want good, masculine role models," he stated. "People want to protect the Second Amendment while still addressing mental health issues. There's also a concern for balancing prisoner reform, recreational drugs and public safety, and the role of new technologies, including AI, virtual reality, and new medicines."
Rikki Schlott said that at the end of the day, what Gen Z wants is unity.
"The biggest thing that I'm hearing time and again is the message of unity and wanting to hear a political candidate that can heal the divides that I think that Gen Z kinda grew up just so mired in in this very partisan age," she said.
According to the NPR/PBS Newshour/ Marist Poll from March that Fox News cited, the economy (30%) is the most important issue among Gen Z/ Millennial voters, beating out the preservation of democracy (15%), healthcare (14%), climate change (8%), and immigration (6%).
