Gen-Z progressives hope to use Supreme Court's student loan, affirmative action decisions to mobilize young voters

Gen-Z progressives like Claire Simon are pushing for record turnout for young voters in the 2024 election. They hope to replicate the response at the ballot box to last year's Supreme Court decision striking down Roe v. Wade, a blow that ended the federal right to an abortion. 

This time around, they'll be testing the impact of the high court's decisions denying President Biden's student loan program and overturning race-based college admissions, to see whether conservative candidates and ballot initiatives in races across the country can be defeated in November 2024.

A few years ago, Simon, of Washington, D.C. ,says she'd have been "excited to vote for the first time," but this time, voting is "something I feel like I need to do." She's 17 now and will be casting her first ballot next year.
