Florida Democrats hope abortion, marijuana questions will draw young voters despite low enthusiasm
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Jordan Vassallo is lukewarm about casting her first presidential ballot for President Joe Biden in November. But when the 18-year-old senior at Jupiter High School in Florida thinks about the things she cares about, she says her vote for the Democratic incumbent is an “obvious choice.”
Vassallo will be voting for a constitutional ballot amendment that would prevent the state of Florida from prohibiting abortion before a fetus can survive on its own — essentially the standard that existed nationally before the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the constitutional protections to abortion and left the matter for states to decide.
Passage of the amendment would wipe away Florida’s six-week abortion law, which Vassallo says makes no sense.
“Most people don’t know they are pregnant at six weeks,” she said.
Biden, despite her reticence, will get her vote as well.
