Clinton to target millenial voters in Monday speech

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will seek to strengthen her support among millennial voters with a Philadelphia speech on Monday, her campaign has announced.

{mosads}Clinton “will deliver a speech laying out the stakes of November’s election for millennial voters in Pennsylvania and across the country,” the campaign wrote in a Thursday statement.

The former secretary of State will also “discuss the challenges facing young people today and how her agenda would support them, including her plans to make free community college and debt-free college available to all Americans.”

The announcement comes after a newly released NextGenClimate online poll conducted in major battleground states found Clinton underperforming among young voters, who had flocked to the campaign of her primary rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)

According to the poll, 21 percent of millennials identified as “Sanders holdouts” in July. Since then, the group has only shrunk to 16 percent. 

Republican Donald Trump remains largely unpopular among younger voters, with 75 percent stating that they have an unfavorable view of the GOP nominee.
