A room in a University of Pennsylvania residence hall transformed into Philadelphia's first ever Iowa caucus satellite location, where 14 Iowans tried to convince each other to upgrade their presidential preference.
There was at least one thing everyone agreed on, though. Young voters, like the college students who participated in the caucus, are going to have a significant impact on this year's presidential election.
"I think at this point it's kind of a mad scramble among the candidates to try to engage young voters," said David Thornburgh, president and CEO of the Committee of Seventy. "It's a hugely significant cohort of voters this time around."
Thornburgh says for the first time in recent history, young voters make up a larger voting block than people aged 55 and older.
"I'd question that conventional wisdom that young voters stay home or just watch things go by. I think this may be a new ball game this year," he said.
This week on KYW In Depth, KYW Newsradio's Andrew Kramer reports back from the first Iowa caucus in Philadelphia, and David Thornburgh talks about the outsized impact young voters could have on the 2020 election.
