A message to The Week Junior community from our editor-in-chief:

These are confusing times in US politics—even for adults. Last weekend, there was a shooting at a campaign rally for former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump, and this weekend President Joe Biden stepped aside as the Democratic nominee.

We want to let our subscriber families know that we are hard at work fulfilling our mission to help children make sense of what is happening. We have been reporting on Election 2024 for months, and we will continue to do so with clarity, accuracy, and balance. No matter how complex the story, it is our responsibility and opportunity to explain it in a way that is understandable for young people.

We hope, in fact, that our coverage will inspire children to take an interest in the election and learn more about the democratic process. You can find all our Election 2024 coverage at theweekjunior.com/Election2024. The site will be updated with this week’s story about President Biden’s decision on Wednesday. And there will be much more to come in the months ahead.

Thank you for subscribing to The Week Junior!

With my very best wishes,
Andrea Barbalich
Editor-in-Chief
