Summary
A recent national poll found 52 percent of 18 to 34-year-old voters support Bernie in the Democratic primary, compared to just 2 percent for Pete Buttigieg, a millennial himself. Why do young people overwhelmingly support a 78-year-old Senator for president? To find out, Briahna spoke to some of the most politically engaged young people around, including the leadership of US Youth Climate Strike, the teenage masterminds of Mike Gravel's progressive presidential campaign, and Bernie 2020's own interns.
Then, the campaign’s Relational Organizing Director, Emily Isaac, gives us a rundown of BERN 2.0, the campaign’s secret weapon for organizing the people in your life.

| 1:04.9 | hit this message with the same gusto of a Motown Christmas drumline. |
| 1:18.7 | Here's the case. In matchups with Trump, Bernie outperforms the field consistently leading by double-digit margins, unlike most of the current candidates who struggle to get out |
| 1:23.9 | of the margin of error, much like a certain 2016 Democratic candidate. |
| 1:29.4 | Bernie is the only candidate with more individual donations than Trump, and he has raised more |

| 1:51.6 | to fight for him just as hard, nay, harder than Trump supporters. |
| 1:56.5 | In fact, Bernie has a more committed base than any other candidate. |
