The Next Generation of Voters (Guest: John Della Volpe)

Still more on the Electoral College fraud conspiracy, the ever-growing field of far-right-wing Republican gubernatorial candidates and an amazing roster of petition drives are afloat in Michigan. Those of the subjects of our opening segment, now officially called our weekly “Legitimate Political Discourse.” Then we shift the focus to the long-term future. While most of the political focus is on the 2022 and 2024 campaigns, there’s a new generation of voters who will soon dominate our political discussion. And they are decidedly leaning left. John Della Volpe is the Director of Polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, and the author of “Fight: How Gen Z is Channeling Their Fear and Passion to Save America.” The Washington Post referred to John as one of the world’s leading authorities on global sentiment, opinion and influence especially among young Americans and in the age of digital and social media.  In 2008, John received an Eisenhower Fellowship for which he traveled extensively throughout China, Hong Kong, and Korea (including a supervised day in North Korea) studying Millennials; in 2011, he was appointed to the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission on Media. His TV appearances include the most prestigious in politics: The Daily Show with Trevor Noah 😎!
