Millennial vote preview: New York

After weeks of campaigning, Tuesday’s New York primary will play an important electoral role for the first time in decades.

CBS Radio spoke with six young Democratic voters on Friday, three who supported Hillary Clinton and three who supported Bernie Sanders. On Monday they spoke with three GOP young voters who each supported a different candidate.

Despite their differences, the young New Yorkers were able to find common ground, reflecting state voter values and providing a primary preview preoccupied with economic issues.

“As New Yorkers, the economy was a hot-button issue for the supporters, who sparred over the Glass-Stegall Act, Dodd-Frank reforms and raising the minimum wage,” CBS New York noted about the young Democrats.
