Biden Addresses UN Amid Israel-Hezbollah Tensions

During the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, President Biden addressed global leaders amid escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressing alarm over the violence. Tens of thousands have fled southern Lebanon due to Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah, which Israel accuses of storing weapons in civilian areas. In the United States, young voters are increasingly motivated by economic concerns, with many citing rising living costs and income inequality as key issues for the upcoming November elections. N'Dea Gordon, a young voter from Ohio, highlights the struggles of affording basic needs that push her back to school for better opportunities. Meanwhile, a growing segment of blue-collar Gen Z workers, like Aya Alhaddad, express skepticism about the electoral process, feeling their votes won't impact their lives regardless of the candidates' promises. The upcoming elections will see various demographic groups, including these young voters, influencing the political landscape based on their pressing concerns.
