🏛️ Is Biden losing the youth?

Recent polls show that Biden's support from young people is falling. Is it a serious cause for concern?

🏛️ The Hill: A recent poll showed that support for Biden is falling in voters aged 18-29. Is he losing the youth?

🏛️ CNN says yes, and it's largely because of his age and his stance on the Israel-Hamas war. Young people are generally pro-Palestine, and despise Biden's support for Israel.

🏛️ The Daily Beast thinks it's also a general dissatisfaction with Biden’s approach to the environment, student debt, and other issues that are a huge deal to young people.

🏛️ But the Financial Times points out that polls are basically meaningless this early in the election cycle. The situation will change a lot — Biden has a lot of time to gain ground.

🏎️ Why did so many people hate F1 in Vegas?

F1 had its debut race in Vegas last week, and there was a lot of hate from fans, residents, and racers. Is the hate deserved?

🏎️ Essentially Sports said many Las Vegas residents were upset about the new F1 track. They said the construction made their lives hell, with so much traffic and rerouting.

🏎️ The Athletic reported that F1 teams were frustrated, too — a water valve cover came loose during a practice race and struck a car going 200mph. That's an unacceptable safety hazard!

🏎️ And Forbes pointed out that it's having an effect on ticket prices. They plummeted 23% in just one month!

🏎️ But another piece from The Athletic said no one should freak out — it's only year 1 of a 10-year contract between F1 and Las Vegas. Interest in the race will grow, while traffic concerns and logistical issues will subside.
