    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Joe Biden launched a TikTok account this week to connect with young voters, and the pro-Palestinian protests that have beset his recent in-person events are now following him online.

    Since then, pro-Palestinian demonstrators have confronted Biden at a campaign stop in Michigan, chanting “Genocide Joe.” And protesters calling for a cease-fire in Gaza have waited outside Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s home to have their gripes heard.

    But speaking to NBC News just a few hours after posting her comment, Niusulu said Biden can still regain her vote so long as he sanctions Israel, cuts off aid and reigns in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Jack Lobel, 19, the national press secretary for Voters of Tomorrow, a nonprofit young-voter engagement organization, said the humanitarian crisis in Gaza still hasn’t shifted the “fundamental choice” of the 2024 election.

    In 2020, she encouraged her friends to head to the polls and vote for Biden and for Rep. Ruben Gallego, the Democratic congressman from her district who’s now vying for independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s seat.

    Calling Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza a “genocide” is controversial, with various experts opposing that view and the United Nations’ high court in the Netherlands hearing a case on the issue.
