Jenn Jackson, assistant professor of political science, spoke with Bloomberg ahead of Tuesday's presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump and shed light on what young people are watching for.

“I think a lot of young people have been waiting to hear the same thing probably for the past few years as they have in the past few weeks, which is a really clear stance on what lies ahead for the folks who are most vulnerable in the United States,” Jackson says. “I'm thinking right now about LGBTQIA+ Americans and those folks who have been working really hard over the past few years to recover from the COVID-19 crisis.”
