With the eyes of the entire world on the 2024 US elections, Nickelodeon is, once again, making sure that kids get into the mix with Kids’ Vote and Nick News: Kids Pick the President. This election season another famous face, Nate Burleson, and his 14-year-old daughter, Mia, will host Nickelodeon’s Kids Pick The President special, revealing the results of who our nation’s youth have chosen as our next Commander In Chief.
“The opportunity to host the ‘Kids Pick the President’ special, alongside my daughter Mia, has opened up our whole family to conversations about the importance of standing up for what we believe in and the power of democracy,” Burleson said in a statement.
“As parents of three, it has always been a priority for me and my wife Atoya to teach our kids that their voices matter — that they not only need to get involved, but stay involved with the issues and topics they care about.”
Jean Margaret Smith, senior vice president of Nickelodeon Public Affairs, echoed in a statement to the press the importance of allowing “kids of all ages to be seen and heard,” and of course, that includes validating their opinions in the political process as well.
“We believe kids of all ages deserve to be seen and heard, and we’re proud of the role that our ‘Kids Pick the President’ initiative has played in elevating their voices around important issues in their lives for the last nine election cycles.”
“Through the personal stories of the families featured in the ‘Kids Pick the President’ special, we hope to empower kids to champion the causes they care about, and inspire them to impact change in their communities and beyond.”
