CNN’s Avlon: So Far New Voters that Bernie Says Will Flock to the Polls Have Not Materialized

‘More moderate voters turned out in New Hampshire this year than 2016 but the center lane has been fractured now with Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar announcing their support for Biden’

EXCERPT:

AVLON: “Likewise, Bernie Sanders has been cleaning up with the youth vote while Biden’s strongest support has come from older voters. That's a political truism that old people vote. Will the youth turn out for Bernie in big numbers? There's a benchmark. Barack Obama won 57% of voters under 30 on Super Tuesday 2008. But what about the new voters that Bernie says will flock to the polls to support him? So far they haven’t materialized. In fact, more moderate voters turned out this year in New Hampshire than 2016, but the center lane has been fractured. Now with Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar announcing their support for Biden, we will see whether moderates rally around him.”
