The 2024 ‘Deciders’: Who are they and what makes them tick?

RiKi Denning is, by her own account, “torn up” about the November election. She is almost certain she will cast a ballot but just might leave the presidential line blank. “I just hate both of the candidates and there’s no third-party candidate that stands a chance,” said the 26-year-old resident of Las Vegas.

Forced to choose between President Biden and former president Donald Trump, she said she would lean toward Biden, then added, “But I just don’t agree with him as president at all.” Her dissatisfaction with Biden includes her belief that he is too old for another term, that he hasn’t delivered on a promise to eliminate her student loan debt and that he supports Israel in the war in the Gaza Strip.
