FOX 29's Jennifer Lee talked to several students from Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania about what drove them to cast their votes in the 2022 midterm elections on Tuesday.

Early signs are showing young voters showed up to the polls in strong numbers this Midterm Election, giving Democrats a big boost.

FOX 29's Jennifer Lee surveyed students at Temple University who ranged in age from first-time voters who are 18 to seniors who are 21 years old. "Roe v. Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court earlier in the year, I think that was a huge issue. Not only for me, but also for everyone," said Shane Sullivan, a senior at Temple University. "It felt like for a lot of us abortion was on the line in Pennsylvania."

Other issues were also in focus, like gun violence and student debt relief. Young voters at Temple expressed how important it was for them to head to the polls and vote for candidates whose politics closely aligned with theirs. "It was really important for me to vote for John Fetterman," said Sarah Giulianti, another senior at Temple University. "His values align with my values, and it was important to me that we had a politician who had a big focus on a woman’s right to choose."

“abortion.” “gun violence.” “student debt relief.” Re-hashed issues that come up every cycle. So tiresome. Keep your legs together, throw criminals in jail (they don’t follow laws) and get a job.

They voted the way they were brainwashed by their professors. That’s how college works
