Ocasio-Cortez warns concern ‘growing’ among young voters over the White House’s handling of Israel

Amid deep divisions among Democrats over the US response to the Israel-Hamas war, progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that the White House’s position on Israel could impact President Joe Biden’s standing among young voters – a key bloc that helped propel him to the presidency in 2020.

“I think it’s significant,” the New York Democrat told CNN. “Young people have been paying attention to this issue. And before people say, you know, that this is due to social media platforms, this is an issue that I’ve been warning the party about for a long time – that young people have been increasingly concerned about the status of human rights of Palestinians for years now, and it has been growing and growing.”
