President Joe Biden is taking a four-day tour focused on the economy and the environment in an effort to generate more support for his agenda, which hasn’t been widely embraced by the public. One of Biden’s main goals during this tour is to showcase his accomplishments and gather support from key groups, particularly young voters who are concerned about climate change. However, recent polls suggest that a majority of Americans, about 57%, are not satisfied with his handling of climate issues. Activists, particularly among younger generations, are pushing for more urgency and assertiveness in Biden’s climate actions.

One of the challenges Biden faces is convincing skeptical Americans about the benefits of his climate agenda while also addressing the concerns of those who believe he hasn’t done enough. Although he claimed to have declared a national emergency on the climate crisis, he hasn’t taken this step yet, attracting attention and criticism. Climate activists have been urging him to declare a climate emergency since the beginning of his presidency.

Despite making substantial climate investments, Biden’s decision to allow new drilling and pipeline projects has been met with criticism from activists who argue that his actions contradict his campaign promises. Young voters focused on climate change worry that his agenda lacks the necessary urgency and may not bring about the desired outcomes.

During his tour in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, Biden will highlight his efforts to address climate change, such as designating a national monument and promoting clean energy investments. As the 2024 election approaches, gaining support from young voters and climate activists becomes crucial for Biden’s chances of re-election. The challenge lies in convincing them that his actions align with his promises and that he is adequately addressing the urgent climate crisis.
