As we approach the pivotal 2024 presidential election, Pennsylvania appears to be key to victory. With Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris seemingly visiting the state almost weekly, voters are grappling with critical issues that will shape the future of our country.

Today, we’re diving deep into the perspectives of young voters in Pittsburgh, exploring their hopes, concerns, and the challenges they face as a strong bloc in the electorate.

TribLive reporter Megan Swift interviewed young voters, including Cory Roma, a passionate advocate for progressive issues, and Mike Chiarlone, a dedicated member of the Allegheny County Young Republicans.

Today, we’re unpacking their views on the economy, political representation, and the importance of youth engagement in the electoral process.
