WASHINGTON (AP) — Jack Lobel is a college sophomore who will be voting in his first presidential election this fall, casting a ballot for Joe Biden.
“If age were really a concern we would not see this much energy around these groups," said Lobel, an urban studies major in New York. As he worked on hammering out the joint endorsement this week he was also writing a paper for his American urban politics class and taking a midterm in his voting and political behavior class.
“President Biden comes before midterms and exams and papers,” Lobel said, only half-joking.
